1Prepare the Seafood and Broth:

2Sauté Vegetables:
In a large flat skillet or a paella pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent
3Cook Squid:
Add the squid rings to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until slightly tender.
4Add Noodles and Tomato:
Stir in the fideo noodles and grated tomato, coating them well with the pan mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the noodles and stir to combine.
5Add Broth:
Pour the warm saffron-infused broth over the noodles. Make sure the liquid covers the noodles. Season with salt and pepper.
