This One-Pan Spanish Seafood Pasta ¨Fideuਠwith Squid Ink is one of the most EPIC dishes ever. Loaded with flavors, easy to make and done in about 45 minutes. Fideuà is a very popular dish that hails from the town of Gandia in the region of Valencia. You will find this dish at upscale restaurants throughout the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
To make this dish I used 2 cups of small thin pasta noodles, if you can´t find those in your area, you can substitute for 1 cup of elbow macaroni. You´re also gonna need some squid ink. This adds an incredible & exotic flavor to this dish. If you can´t find squid ink in you supermarket, check with an Asian supermarket.
Very important to use high-quality saffron to make this recipe, as this is what really flavor this dish. For this recipe I only used 1/2 tsp of saffron threads, but believe it or not, the flavors of the saffron really shined through. The saffron is what gives this fideuà that beautiful Mediterranean flavor.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: I used a paella pan to make this dish, but you can use a large frying pan instead. If you can´t find the small thin pasta noodles I used, you can substitute for elbow macaroni. However, the noodles will be thicker, so the ratio for this recipe would be 1 cup pasta to 2 1/2 cups broth. For the last thing, if you´re unable to locate squid ink in your area, you can always use cuttlefish ink.
