This one always impresses the guests. Fideo is a type of pasta that is browned in oil, then cooked in broth and other seasonings. Often found in spanish and some middle eastern dishes.

1/4 cup Barilla Plus Thin Spaghetti broken into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces (the Fideos)
1 cup white basmati rice
1 shallot, finely minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
Olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley leaves, minced

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat
Add minced shallot and 1/2 tsp kosher salt and cook until translucent
Add pasta and sauté until browned
Add rice and stir to coat with oil (add more oil if needed)
Cook until rice is opaque white
Add broth, bring to a gentle boil, cover and reduce heat to low
Simmer for 15-20 minutes until all broth is absorbed
Poke several holes through the rice and add pieces of butter
Re-cover and continue over very low heat until butter is absorbed
Taste and add salt & pepper as needed
Fluff and serve sprinkled with fresh minced parsley to accompany meat dishes
