Since it has been several years since I prepared and had Spagueti Verde, I also did not have a recipe. I had to resort to the great well of knowledge, the Internet. I found this great little video in Spanish. The main idea came from here, plus some of my own additions. Here is our final recipe in English. :)
Ingredients:
2 large Poblano peppers
1/2 lb. of spaghetti
2 green peppers, sliced (stems and seeds off)
1 small white onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon of oil
8 springs of cilantro, leaves only
1 cup of Mexican cream, or heavy cream if you cannot find it :)
1 teaspoon of salt
4 oz. of mozzarella cheese, shredded
Process
- Broil Poblano peppers on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes in each side until blackened. Let the peppers cool. Peel the blackened skins. Remove the stems and seeds.
- Cook pasta according to package instructions.
- In a pan with oil, fry green peppers, onions and garlic until tender.
- Place in blender Poblano peppers, cilantro, cream, salt, and the fried mixture. Puree mixture until smooth.
- In large bowl mix spaghetti and the green sauce mixture.
- Transfer to oven dish, sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Let me know what you think of it.
