Instructions

Set a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and fideo noodles. Stir and cook the noodles for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the pasta is golden brown. *If using angel hair pasta, break the dried noodles into 1 – 1 ½ inch segments before frying.
Meanwhile, place the Rotel and juices in the blender. Add in the chopped onion, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro. Cover and purée until smooth.
Once the noodles are browned, stir the vegetable purée into the pot. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to release the flavor from the produce, then add in the vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Taste, then season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
