Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb spaghetti (cooked)
4-7 large poblano peppers (fried and peeled and de-seeded)
1 1/2 c sour cream
4-6 Tbsp milk
2 cubes of knorr's chicken bouillon
2 bunch cilantro, fresh
2 large avocados
1 medium fresh lime juice
IF YOU WISH TO ADD MEAT
4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 lb fresh shrimp (peeled and de-veined)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add spaghetti and cook according to package directions.
  • 2. While spaghetti is boiling, heat a skillet with oil and add poblano peppers, rotate peppers until they turn almost black looking. Or if you have a deep fat fryer, place peppers in the basket, at 350* until skin boils and peppers turn black.
  • 3. Remove peppers from oil, and place onto a paper towel to soak up oil. once cooled enough to handle, remove stems and seeds,(I usually run the peppers under cold water to make sure all the seeds are removed) (peppers are hot do to the seeds in the pepper,so if you love HOT HOT, leave the seeds in) place on a flat surface and take a knife and skin off the skin.
  • 4. Drain, pasta. Once all peppers have been skinned,de-seeded and de-stemmed. place in the blender with the cilantro,milk,lime juice,bouillon and sour cream and blend til everything is liquefied.then add avocados and blend til smooth,
  • 5. place pasta back on the stove top, on med-low heat, add 2-3 Tbs. of oil, and add sauce, toss until heated throughout. ******************************************************** IF ADDING MEAT:::: If you are adding meat to your dish, I do the same thing with both the chicken and shrimp. in a large skillet, add oil. once skillet is hot, add meat of choice, then add Adobe Mexican seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste, cook until done and add to pasta, tossing in while sauce is simmering with the noodles.
  • 6. NOTE: If you like spice add more peppers or leave the seeds in. If your not a fan of spicy, then just used 2-3 peppers only, kids love this dish, my boys have been eating this since they where 1 1/2 years old :) I pray this dish finds its way to your dinner table. Enjoy!
