Broken Spaghetti 'Risotto' Pasta Recipe

[foodwishes]

@UKGarry I was kidding! I never rehearse, nor will I start to. Just FYI, Allrecipes never makes me do anything, and I have the same artistic freedom I had before the partnership. For better or worse, this is all me! ;)

Chef John is a national treasure. After all these years, I finally was told that high heat makes stock cloudy.

In NM, we add tomato sauce in place of half the broth, then cook it down. It's commonly called "Fideos" (FiDAYOHs) I make sure to add lots and lots of garlic. If I don't have fresh on hand then I use a good quality garlic powder! YUM.

I just had to say, we made this recently and it was amazing!!! One of the best quick pasta side dishes!!!

I can't belive how good you are at making food and when I watch all ur videos I ALWAYS enjoy! ;D

Oh, there is so much you can do to this recipe! I love it... brilliant on its own and as a foundation. Chef John has done it again!

I have made up this dish over the years, and am glad to see it on your blog. Thank you Chef!

I'm 17 and I've never cooked anything besides ramen. Then I decided to try this and it was delicious! Thank

Thank you for this amazing recipe, Chef John... I made it tonight with a nice organic vegetable broth for a vegetarian friend, and it turned out utterly fabulous!!

@averagebetty That's an interesting date filter. I had a similar thing, but with me it was asking them if they had $20 I could borrow.

@possum419 lol! Yes, I do a ton of rehearsing!

Re: Pasta "el Dante:" Once upon a time at a not-terribly-good Seattle restaurant, a waiter loftily explained to me that the pasta would be cooked "El Dante, " improbably yoking the Spanish masculine definite article to the name of the famous 14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Chef John, you are only the second human being I've ever heard say this but coming from you, it's completely OK since you are basically feeding my family at this point. Love your site.

Chef John! I've made this like 6 times since I've seen this video! It's so good! I used wheat pasta and put chopped sun dried tomatoes garlic and mushrooms in it! SOOOO good!!!

[zoolzool]

I've made this a few times already. My second favorite recipe from Chef John. It's DELICIOUS!

My mom-in-law does this with vermicelli/fideo and it's always good--usually when someone is sick and she wants a light meal.

[zoolzool]

I made this tonight and it turned out better than expected. Thanks so much for sharing this dish!
