Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb spaghetti
1 (8 oz) can tomatoes (or 3 large fresh if in season )
1 cup chicken broth (low sodium is best
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp dried cilantro (or italian herbs , or both!)
1 jalapeno, stemmed
salt and pepper

Directions:

Put canned tomatoes, broth, onion, garlic, cumin, herbs, and jalapeno in a blender and puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat 3 TB olive oil in a pan over medium high heat.
Break the noodles in half, and fry in the pan until they are golden brown. Use a spatula and continuously turn them. Be careful, they burn easily, so don't leave them unattended!
When they are browned (about 3-5 minutes) add the contents from the blender to the pan, and stir well to make sure all noodles are covered, and not sticking together.
Cover, turn down heat to medium, and simmer until the noodles are al dente , stirring occasionally. About ten minutes.
If it is too dry, add a bit of broth, but it should be fairly dry.
