instructions
    1

    Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the fideos and cook for about 8 minutes or until they are al dente, stirring occasionally.

    2

    While the fideos are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

    3

    Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.

    4

    Once the fideos are done, drain them and add them directly to the pan with the sautéed garlic.

    5

    Pour in the cream and stir everything together, letting it simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Zest the lemon into the pan, then juice it as well, adding the zest and juice to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

    7

    Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.

    8

    Once everything is well mixed and heated through, take it off the heat.

    9

    Garnish with chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh touch.
