Noodle being a slang word for "head", or more precisely "brain", to say to someone "That's using your noodle!" was originally used as an insult. The phrase likened the body language of a simpleton wagging his head around while pondering some basic concept, in a way similar to a dangling, wet noodle.
In more recent times, however, the term "noodle" has lost it's original crassness, and even the phrase "Use your noodle" can be used to simply mean "think about it" (instead of, for example, "think about it, dopey").
