For egg noodles I do a brown butter sage sauce or add to soups
For spaghetti noodles I do Asian dishes (we add butter and soy sauce to the noodles then top with stir fry) or an Asian inspired soup. Lemon pepper noodles are also a good thing to try.
Any of the noodles that you listed taste great with a good gravy over the top of them with veggies mixed in ( think beef, chicken, or pork gravy with a matching meat simmered in it).
 
Garlic Butter broccoli, mushrooms parm
4 OZ uncooked pasta (2 C small shaped pasta)
1 Can cannellini beans
3 tbsp butter (divided)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
7 OZ cremini mushrooms (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup chicken broth or veg broth or white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt & pepper (to taste)
Cook pasta first until slightly before al dente ( about 5 min)
Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the water has been released from the mushrooms & cooked off and everything gets a good sear and is browned/caramelized (this gives a ton of flavor). It'll take 8-10 minutes or possibly a bit longer.
Once mushrooms are well browned, add broccoli florets. Stir in the rest of the butter, plus the garlic, thyme and 1 tbsp parsley. Cook for about a minute. Cook until golden and crispy on the edges, about 8-10 minutes. Veggies must be well browned.
Pour in the vegetable stock and beans and cook for 2 minutes, to reduce the sauce slightly.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese, thyme and remaining parsley. Add a splash of the hot pasta water prior to draining the pasta (a couple tablespoons) and then toss the pasta with the sauce. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
