Arroz con Fideos (Rice with Angel Hair Pasta)

March 15, 2016 by Erica Dinho 17 Comments

This post is also available in Spanish

Arroz con Fideos
This is another Colombian rice recipe and as I’ve mentioned before in this blog, rice is a staple in a Colombian diet. Arroz con Fideos is a popular recipe in my family. As children, we loved it because of the little angel hair pasta in the rice.

      I love this rice as well, my grandma used to make it all the time. She also added crushed garlic to the oil before adding the noodles, the smell was amazing.

    My husband grew up with this dish, but he and his siblings called it “wormy rice”. His mamita makes it for Thanksgiving and Easter every year. Such a great and simple recipe.

    Help! I need to make this dish in a large quantity. Should I just double the ingredients? The recipe makes 4 servings, but I need at least 10. Any tips/advice?

    My mom taught me to make this rice when i was 12. I make this rice 3 to 4 times a month. I add garlic and sometimes replace the water with coconut milk. We are call it Arroz con fideos or rice with noodles. My grandson loves it! Thank you Erika for your Colombian recipes!
