Cascadia Fideua Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cascadia Fideua Dish.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming a saucepan over low heat and combine your chicken stock, minced garlic, and a pinch of saffron.

2. Step 2

   Let this delightful mixture heat up until it’s hot but not boiling, allowing the saffron to release its beautiful flavor and color.

3. Step 3

   Keep this fragrant broth warm while you prepare the other ingredients.

4. Step 4

   Next, grab a cast iron skillet and cook the diced pancetta over medium heat.

5. Step 5

   Stir it frequently for about 10 minutes, or until it’s crispy and has rendered most of its fat.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s perfectly golden, remove the pancetta from the skillet and set it aside, letting the delicious aroma linger in the air.

7. Step 7

   Now, carefully discard the excess grease from the skillet, then add a tablespoon of olive oil.

8. Step 8

   Toss in the diced carrots, thawed artichoke hearts, and fresh green beans.

9. Step 9

   Sauté these vibrant veggies until they start to soften, then remove them from the skillet and set them aside as well.

10. Step 10

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and stir in the diced onion.

11. Step 11

    Season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, cooking until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 10 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Once the onion is ready, add the diced tomatoes and let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a rich paste, which will take around 15 to 20 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Now, spread this luscious tomato-onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet.

14. Step 14

    Sprinkle the broken spaghetti pieces over the top, creating a cozy nest for the noodles.

15. Step 15

    Pour in just enough of your saffron-infused broth to cover the spaghetti, then artfully arrange the crispy pancetta and sautéed vegetables on top.

16. Step 16

    If needed, add a bit more broth to ensure everything is nicely submerged.

17. Step 17

    Bring this colorful medley to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

18. Step 18

    Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the spaghetti is tender, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if necessary.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy the delightful aromas wafting through your kitchen as you create this comforting dish!.
