A great way to add flavor to a pasta dish is to toast the noodles in oil, which brings out nutty notes that add complexity to the final result. And a great example of this lesson is sopa seca, which translates to “dry soup” from the Spanish.
This Mexican dish typically features broken, thin noodles that are toasted, then cooked with broth and tomatoes.
