National Noodle Ring Day Date in the current year: December 11, 2025

The noodle ring is made by mixing pasta and eggs with cheese, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other ingredients. The mixture is placed into a ring mold and baked. The ring is served on a large plate. Its center can be filled with vegetable stew, creamed chicken, steamed mushrooms, or other foods.

The noodle ring was popular in the mid-20th century. Unfortunately, it has lost popularity since then, probably because mac and cheese is much easier to make. However, if you decide to celebrate National Noodle Ring Day, a ring-shaped pasta casserole might be a great treat for your family. How do you make a noodle ring?

First, preheat the oven to 350 °F. Cook 8 ounces of egg pasta in salted water until just tender. Drain the pasta. Thaw and drain 2 packages frozen chopped spinach. Combine noodles and spinach. Sauté 1 chopped onion in 1/2 cup butter until lightly browned. Stir in 3 lightly beaten eggs. Add 1 cup sour cream and mix well.

Grease a 6-cup ring mold. Pour mixture into the mold. Place it in a pan of hot water and bake for about 45 minutes. Carefully remove the noodle ring from the mold and serve on a heated platter.
