So I tried noodles in the crawfish boil this weekend....

Someone posted an article a week or so ago about a guy throwing some fettuccine type noodles in the boil asking if it was good....so I decided to try it this weekend.
In short, it was excellent. I put them in the 'side strainer' times with the mushrooms and sausage (which at my house go in at the same time as the bugs). After the soak, they were perfectly soft / cooked and tasted about like you would expect, salty and spicy.
Yesterday, we chopped up the leftover garlic, onions, and sausage from the boil, shaved some of the corn cobs, and added the mushrooms, pasta, and leftover peeled tails to an impromptu cream sauce of half/half, milk, and a tag of cream cheese. This turned into an excellent pasta dish and (in my humble opinion) I think we stumbled onto a go to 'day after' dish in the future.
For the $1 a pack of noodles costs, I'd recommend trying it to everyone, not particuarly for the noodles at the boil (which were good in the their own right, but who is really going to eat noodles by hand throughout the day?) but bc of the options it creates - easily - the next day.
My only regret - I didn't think to get green onions for the pasta dish we made the next day which would have been clutch.
Next time....

Nice. Will give it a go
I occasionally sneak some noodles in while they're draining in the sink and no one is looking

Yeah it was really fantastic. Also forgot to mention the half stick of butter used to make the day after cream sauce - for full disclosure :)

Glad you tried it - I haven't done it yet, but I plan on doing it soon.

What type of noodles did you use and how long of a soak?

I just grabbed a cheap pack of Fettuccine style noodles, the flat wide ones. They went in when the crawfish went in, in a side basket with mushrooms and sausage.
Waited for the rolling boil to come back then cooked for about 3 minutes followed by killing the heat, and a 30min soak. They came out cooked well, not hard but not falling apart. Would (and will) do the same way in the future.
