Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) fideo (thin pasta noodles for fideuà), or substitute with thin vermicelli or angel hair pasta
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thin half-moons
- 4 oz (115g) Spanish sausage (such as chorizo or soyrizo), sliced
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
How to Make
-
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.
How to Make
-
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.
