    Arroz con Fideos is a popular side dish in Colombia and Latin America. It's a very simple rice dish with angel hair pasta and it's absolutely delicious.

    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.

    Cooking Tips

    I love the combination of flavors and textures in this rice dish. You can add a garlic clove crushed if you want more flavor and use water, vegetable or chicken broth. Depending on your taste.

    How to Make Arroz con Fideos

    In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the angel hair pasta and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta is golden.

    Add the rice, stir with a wooden spoon and sauté for 1 minute. Add the stock or water, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the salt, cover and decrease the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.

    Remove from the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.

        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!
