Ingredients

  • 1(16 ounce) packagespaghetti
  • 2poblano peppers
  • 1 ½cupsMexican-style sour cream
  • ¼cupwater
  • 3tablespoonschopped fresh cilantro
  • 2cubes vegetable bouillon
  • 2garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 ½teaspoonsground black pepper
  • 2tablespoonsgrated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  • 1tablespoonfresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

  • Directions

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

    Meanwhile, cook poblano peppers over a gas flame, turning periodically with tongs or a fork, until skin is charred on all sides, about 7 minutes. Seal peppers inside a plastic bag; allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 8 minutes. Remove and discard skins and seeds.

    Place peppers, sour cream, water, chopped cilantro, vegetable bouillon cubes, garlic, and black pepper in a blender; blend until creamy.

    Pour sauce into a large pot over low heat; bring to a boil. Drain spaghetti and add to the sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Top with Parmesan cheese and cilantro leaves.



    Recipe Tips

    Fettuccine also works well in this recipe.

    For a non-vegetarian version, add sliced, cooked chicken breast and use chicken bouillon.

    For a spicier sauce, add 1 to 2 charred serrano chile peppers to the blender mix.
