INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 🍝 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
    • 2 poblano peppers
    • 1 ½ cups Mexican-style sour cream
    • 💧 ¼ cup water
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    • 2 cubes vegetable bouillon
    • 🧄 2 garlic cloves, peeled
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 🧀 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
    • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

STEPS

1

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.

2

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.

3

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

4

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.

💡 For a richer flavor, roast the poblano peppers in advance and allow them to cool completely before peeling.You can substitute regular sour cream if Mexican-style is unavailable, but the flavor may differ slightly.If you want more heat, consider adding a few jalapeños to the sauce blend.This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or a simple green salad.
