Ingredients

• Vermicelli pasta - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Green beans - 100 grams, chopped
• Tomato - 1 large, diced
• Saffron - 1 pinch
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable broth - 600 milliliters
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lemon - 1, juiced

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
2. Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped green beans to the skillet, stirring for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Stir in the diced tomato, saffron, and smoked paprika, cooking for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Add the vermicelli pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the broth.
