Spanish Noodles Black Noodles Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Spanish paella recipes may get all the fame, but spanish noodles recipes are equally popular in most spanish seaside towns. Black noodles, called fideos negros in spanish, are a popular coastal meal on spain's eastern coast, usually simmered in fish stock and served with squid and monkfish. This spanish noodles recipe is said to come from the mediterranean region of valencia, although it is also very popular throughout catalonia. What gives the black noodles their peculiar color? Pure squid ink that is added during cooking turns the pasta dark black. Here squid rings, fish, onions, and peppers are sauted and then simmered with the noodles and squid ink, creating an impressive main course. It's easy to prepare in less than 45 minutes and pairs perfectly with a crisp spanish white wine. Cultural tip: in spain, rice and noodle dishes are always served for lunch, and never at dinner time. They are considered heavy meals that are better suited to mid-day
