Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces fideo noodles or angel hair pasta
- 20 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes and chiles
- ¾ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Jalapeño seeded
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 8 cups vegetable broth
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.
