Ingredients

• 200 g Capellini (angel hair) ( broken into 2cm pieces )
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 piece Yellow onion ( minced )
• 2 piece Garlic ( finely minced )
• 2 piece Round tomato ( grated )
• 1 piece Chicken carcass (for stock)
• 1.5 L Mineral water
• 1 tsp Sweet paprika
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the broth

   Place the chicken carcass in the water with half the onion. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat. The liquid should reduce slightly to concentrate the poultry juices.

2. Toast the noodles

   Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the broken capellini. Stir constantly until they turn deep amber and smell like toasted bread.

3. Add the aromatics

   Add the minced garlic and grated tomato. Cook for two minutes. The mixture should slightly stick to the bottom of the pan to develop flavors.

4. Add broth and cook

   Pour the strained broth over the noodles. Add paprika and salt. Simmer until the noodles are tender and coated by the liquid.

Chef's tips

• Keep a close eye on the noodles while toasting; they go from golden to burnt in seconds.
• Grating the tomato is a quick way to get the pulp and juice without peeling the skin.

Storage

Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. The pasta will continue to absorb the broth; add a splash of water when reheating.
