Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup tomato puree
12 ounces spaghetti, broken into 3-inch pieces
Grated manchego or parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large kettle or pot of water to a boil. Season the chicken and sausage with 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and the marjoram. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the chicken and sausage and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves and tomato puree to the pot. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until the oil turns deep red and the onions are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. If the onions are sticking, add a splash of water and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the spaghetti to the onion mixture and stir-fry until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken and sausage and enough boiling water to cover the pasta by 1/2 inch. Simmer, stirring once or twice, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with cheese, if desired.

Made by lightly frying vermicelli noodles and then cooking them in a rich broth flavored with spices, chipotle and tomatoes, sopa seca is considered comfort food in Mexico. We added smoked turkey to the mix, topped the noodles with grated Cheddar, and finished cooking in the oven for a cheesy, bubbly finish.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for pan
12 ounces fideos (bundled vermicelli)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 teaspoon New Mexican chili powder
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups canned whole tomatoes
1 to 2 chipotles en adobo sauce, minced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade, or low-sodium canned
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded smoked turkey
1 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
Mexican crema, or sour cream thinned with a bit of milk, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with oil. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fideos and cook, turning them with tongs, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bundles and any broken pieces to a plate. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, coriander, oregano, chili powder, and bay leaf, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Crush the tomatoes over the pot with your hand and add them to the pot along with their juices. Add the chipotles, increase the heat to high, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, the toasted fideos, salt, and pepper, to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, uncovered, breaking up the fideos with a spoon, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey. Remove the bay leaf. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, and cover loosely with foil. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole is hot through and through, about 20 minutes. If desired, serve with some crema drizzled over the top.

SPANISH NOODLE CASSEROLE



Spanish Noodle Casserole image

I tore this recipe out of our state newspaper years and years ago, and it finally worked its way into my attention span. I don't know what is Spanish about it (except the onion), but I do know it is a really good casserole that is easy to make. It can be made ahead and frozen. It can be halved, doubled or tripled without hurting it, and it is really tasty. The heat can be adjusted according to your taste. Oh, yes, a real kid's favorite, too.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h10m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (6 ounce) package wide egg noodles
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1/2 medium Spanish onion, chopped
1 tablespoon red chili powder (to taste)
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies (to taste)
1 lb longhorn cheese, grated
1 (14 ounce) can corn, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- x 13-inch baking pan or 3 quart casseiole.
  • Cook the noodles according to package directions in boiling salted water. Drain and reserve.
  • Brown meat and onion in a skillet until meat loses pink color and onions are tender. Salt to taste and add red chilli powder. Reserve.
  • While meat is cooking, mix tomatoes and chilies in a blender and set aside.
  • Mix noodles, meat mixture and tomato mixture together in a large bowl with the corn and half the grated cheese. Mix well and spoon into a greased 3-quart casserole. Or you can mix the ingredients right in the casserole. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, approximately 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of noodles. The article provides three different noodle options: spaghetti, macaroni, and egg noodles. Feel free to experiment with different types of noodles to find your favorite.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really brings the casserole together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. Some popular options include tomato sauce, cheese sauce, and Alfredo sauce.
  • Add your favorite toppings. The casserole is a great opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, meats, and cheeses. Feel free to add whatever toppings you like to make it your own.
  • Bake the casserole until it's golden brown. The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spanish noodle casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a casserole that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Spanish noodle casserole a try.
