Preparación:
1. Heat a wide pan with one tablespoon of olive oil and lightly fry the fideos noodles until golden and maybe slightly brown here and there - but not burned, around 4- 6 minutes.
2. Remove the noodles from the pan and set aside
3. Sauté the onion and garlic – with the rest of the olive oil - until translucent.
4. Add saffron, pimentón, thyme, tomatoes. Cook until the tomato sauce is thick, around 10-15 minutes. Adjust with salt and pepper.
5. Heat the stock, white wine and the bay leaf in a separate pan.
6. Add the fideos to the tomato sauce, and enough stock to cover the noodles. Stir continuously until the fideos have absorbed the liquid. Then add more stock, continue to stir and repeat this until fideo is done, around 15 minutes.
7. When the fideos are almost done add the seafood and simmer until the prawns are cooked and the mussels/clams have opened.
8. Sprinkle parsley over fideos and garnish with lemon quarters.
9. Serve Immediately, and Enjoy!
