Toasted Pasta image

Have no idea were this came from as I have been making for so many years. This is an inexpensive side dish, that can easily be made into a main dish by topping with precooked chicken fillets, and sliced mozzarella, and then baked. The toasting of the Fideo is really what makes this dish. * Post script: This recipe does call for a lot of olive oil which can be cut down, but keep in mind that you need a fair amount to fry the noodles and give them that wonderful toasted taste.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces pasta, fideo (recommended) or 12 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups stewed tomatoes
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pan-fry the coils in oil until golden brown, remove from pan and set aside.
  • In original pan bring tomatoes, water and salt to a boil.
  • Return pasta to pan with boiling tomatoes. Simmer, semi covered, for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally with a fork to separate coils and keep noodles from sticking. Liquid should be absorbed and pasta tender.

The toasted pasta was a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I would cook it for less time next time.

The toasted pasta was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time.
