Bow Ties in Poblano Cream Sauce

Submitted by Mami J

"This pasta can be served as a side dish or you can add some cooked chicken breast and serve it as a main dish. To roast the chiles, simply place them in a hot griddle or large skillet, and cook them until all the skin is blackened and blistered. Then place them in a plastic bag to steam them and loosen the skins. To peel them you might want to use rubber gloves to avoid getting your skin irritated."

This sauce is good good and I’m sure many would like it. We personally like bolder flavors. I added a squeeze of lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, a dash of hot sauce & cilantro. Just YUM!! It’s not a pretty dish to look at lol. I had an extra roasted poblano & diced it & added the pasta. Stirred in a small amount of mozzarella. That said, I’m glad I found this recipe. We enjoyed it for our lunch.
