Fideos a la Marinera

Fideos a la Marinera is a delightful vegan Spanish pasta dish that captures the essence of the sea with a medley of flavorful vegetables and spices. The thin noodles are cooked in a rich, aromatic broth that brings a taste of coastal Spain to your table.

Ingredients

• Fideos (thin noodles) - 150 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Zucchini - 1 small, diced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Vegetable broth - 500 milliliters
• Saffron threads - 1 pinch
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
4. Add the diced tomato, saffron, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomato starts to break down.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Once boiling, add the fideos and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are al dente and have absorbed most of the broth.
7. Remove from heat and let sit for a couple of minutes to thicken.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
