Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large, flat-bottomed pan or paella pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the sliced Spanish sausage to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to release its flavorful oils.
Step 3: Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the pan and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 4: Stir in the smoked paprika, turmeric, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5: Add the fideo (or substitute pasta) to the pan and stir to coat them with the spices and vegetables.
Step 6: Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
Step 7: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.
Step 8: Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for a few minutes.
Step 9: Serve the Fideuà hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
