While perusing some old newspapers to discard, I found a little article in the NYT food section about croés, a pasta specialty of the Savoy region of France. They are small and made in various shapes and toasted. They are then cooked like risotto. Somewhat locally, Fairway sells them but that's an hour in either direction from me.
Question- can they be made at home? Make pasta, dry, then toast?

I don't know the answer to your problem but very thin spaghetti nests (I'm not good or enthusiastic about remembering the ethnic names) are often fried in a little oil or butter until lightly browned before cooking for serving with Mexican sauces.
