Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large poblano peppers
2 (16 ounce) packages angel hair pasta
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers
4 cups torn romaine lettuce leaves
1 small onion, chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package whipped cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place poblano peppers on a broiler pan on the highest shelf in the oven, 1 inch below the broiler element. Heat the broiler's oven to high. Broil until fifty percent of the tops are charred, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
  • Place peppers in a large plastic bag. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Peel the loosened skin from each pepper. Wipe with a paper towel to remove any remaining pieces. Avoid running peppers under water; this will diminish the charred flavor.
  • Place peeled peppers, canned peppers, romaine, onion, cilantro, and garlic in a blender. Blend until well combined.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in pepper mixture and saute until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix cream cheese and sour cream together and add to the skillet. Stir in lemon juice. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes. Add pasta to the skillet and mix well.

I substituted arugula for basil in the pesto and it turned out great! The peppery flavor of the arugula really complemented the pistachio.

Great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The pesto came together in minutes and the spaghetti cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I can see why others might enjoy it. The pesto was very flavorful.

Not a big fan of the pistachio pesto, but the spaghetti itself was cooked well. Might try a different pesto next time.

Loved the idea of using pistachio pesto, it added a nice twist to the classic spaghetti dish. The color was also very impressive.
