STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS IN A CHIPOTLE SAUCE
As far as chiles go, poblano peppers rank among the more mild varieties, though they still offer a nice zing. Here, they are stuffed with a hearty mixture of quinoa, mushrooms, corn, and goat cheese. To counter the spice, serve with a mixed-greens salad.

- If you can't find poblano peppers, you can use another type of mild pepper, such as a green bell pepper.
- To make the chipotle sauce, you can use either canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or dried chipotle peppers. If using dried peppers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- Serve the ziti with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and some chopped fresh cilantro.
