Green Pasta

Veggie K @VeggieK

This recepie is inspired by the popular "Spaghetti Verde" recepie originated from Mexico. With a few tweaks, this popular dish can be made at home fully vegetarian.

Notes:

*If roasting garlic on the oven along with the poblano peppers and onion, make sure to remove them after 10-12 minutes to avoid over roasting them ( I didn't and I ended up having make a new batch). Another way, and my prefered, is to roast them on the stove with a little oil

- Substitute the heavy cream for Crema Mexicana to make it more authentic to the original "Spaghetti Verde" recepie.
