Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil (extra virgin olive oil, avocado, or vegetable)
- 2 (14 ounce) alphabet pasta (or other la moderna noodles)
- 1 (15 ounce can) tomato sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth low or no sodium
- 4 cups water
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon
Toppings
- fresh cilantro
- sour cream or crema
- grated cheddar cheese or crumbled queso fresco
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet, fry the alphabet pasta over medium heat. Keep stirring so that the noodles don't burn.
- Once the pasta is turning golden pour in the tomato sauce, broth and water. Stir to combine. Add in the chicken bouillon. Stir until completely dissolved and mixed in. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and allow to simmer. Allow to simmer until the pasta is tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*If you want to make this more of a pasta consistency, which is what I do for my littlest kids (it's easier to eat) simply reduce the amount of water to 6 cups. As the noodles cooks it will soak up the liquid and be more of a pasta.
