Cascadia Fideua
Summary Not available
- 3 cups chicken stock (or more if needed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pinch saffron
- 1 cup pancetta bacon (diced)
- 2 olive oil (divided)
- 5 cup diced carrots
- 5 cup artichoke hearts (thawed)
- 5 cup green beans
- 2 cups white onion
- to taste
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 1 package spaghetti (broken into 2-inch pieces)
Combine the chicken stock, garlic, and saffron in a saucepan
Warm until hot, but not too hot to put your finger in
Cover, and keep warm over low heat so the saffron can infuse while you continue with the recipe
Cook and stir the diced pancetta in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered out and the pancetta has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 10 minutes
Once done, remove the pancetta and set aside
Discard the grease and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Cook and stir the carrots, artichoke hearts, and green beans until the vegetables begin to soften, then remove from the pan and set aside
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet, and stir in the onion
Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion has softened, about 10 minutes
Add the tomatoes, and cook until the tomato-onion mixture is practically a paste, 15 to 20 minutes
Spread the onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet, and sprinkle evenly with the broken spaghetti pieces
Pour in enough saffron broth to cover the noodles, then arrange the pancetta and cooked vegetables over top
Add additional saffron broth as needed to cover the vegetables
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes
