Ingredients

  • 320 g short macaroni or Spanish fideos
  • 250 g minced pork
  • 150 g Catalan butifarra or mild coarse bratwurst
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 ripe tomatoes (approx. 250 g)
  • 100 ml dry white wine
  • 750 ml warm chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp mild paprika powder
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Finely dice the onion and garlic, grate the tomatoes. Squeeze the butifarra out of the skin and tear it roughly.
  2. Heat olive oil in a wide pot, fry the minced meat and sausage until crumbly and lightly brown; take out.
  3. Sauté the onion for 6 minutes until soft, add the garlic and tomato, cook for 5 minutes. Season with paprika powder and stir in white wine.
  4. Return the meat, sprinkle in the uncooked noodles and pour the warm broth over them. Depending on the type of pasta, simmer over medium heat for 12-16 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is cooked through and the stock is largely absorbed.
  5. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve straight from the cassola; If necessary, add a little more broth.

Tips

  • The noodles need enough liquid, but should not end up swimming in soup.
  • Short macaroni and mild bratwurst are declared replacement products for Fideos and Butifarra.
