Fideos con Salsa de Tomate

Fideos con Salsa de Tomate is a delightful vegan Spanish pasta dish that combines thin noodles with a rich and savory tomato sauce, perfect for a comforting meal. This dish is not only easy to prepare but also bursting with flavors from fresh ingredients.

Ingredients

• Fideos (thin pasta) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1, chopped
• Tomatoes - 400 grams, diced (or canned)
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped (for garnish)
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes until it starts to soften.
3. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5. Add the fideos to the skillet, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fideos are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Once the fideos are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the nutritional yeast if using. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil.
