subheading: Before You Begin:

Look for short, “broken” fideos pasta, about 1 inch in length, and not coiled noodles, which are also known as fideos. We developed this recipe using an 8-ounce package of fideos, but they are also sold in 7-ounce packages. If all you can find is a 7-ounce package, there’s no need to buy a second package to make up the extra ounce. If you can't find short fideos, substitute 8 ounces thin spaghetti or angel hair, broken into 1- to 2-inch lengths; loosely wrap pasta in dish towel and then press the bundle against the corner of the counter to break into short pieces. Knorr brand chicken bouillon is traditional; if you can't find the loose powder, you can crush two to three bouillon cubes and then measure 2 tablespoons. For a spicier dish, use the greater amount of chipotle chile. Look for short, “broken” fideos pasta, about 1 inch in length, and not coiled noodles, which are also known as fideos.
