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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces pasta, fideo (recommended) or 12 ounces angel hair pasta

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.
