Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fideo

    Add 200 grams of fideo pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Bell Pepper

    Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 diced medium bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

    Add 400 grams of diced tomatoes and 500 ml of chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Add 1 teaspoon of cumin, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Combining and Serving

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked fideo pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
