The title intrigued me, is it a Spanish/Mexican recipe of some sort? It sounds delicious, but hot noodles? I'm not sure what kind of noodles would go with that or how to prepare it. How do you do it, Oldbay?

I think she just means to serve it over cooked noodles (egg noodles, angel hair pasta, linguni, etc)
