Fideo (Mexican Pasta)

Serves: 4

The Friday special at a favorite restaurant, Cafe Rio, is Fideo - a mexican pasta. I've always wanted to try it, but being gluten-free, I haven't. I found this recipe and with the brown rice spaghetti, I can now serve it to my family. Delicious!

Add salt, garlic, cumin and tomatoes. Transfer to pot with pasta, toss with cilantro and dump into baking dish (2 -9 inch pie dishes). Turn up heat to high and cook 3 minutes, turning the meat for even browning and separating the strips. Arrange meat on top of pasta and cover with cheese. Broil 5 minutes on medium until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Top with garnishes and serve.
