EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Why brown the pasta? It adds a nutty flavor and nice color to the dish.

Fideo refers to thin strands of pasta, coiled in bunches.

This is a great base dish. Add some veggies and meat and you have a whole meal. Quick tip: I buy the vermicelli already broken up at my local grocer. One less step and uniform pieces. If you can't find it in the pasta aisle, check the international food aisle.
