Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil the Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dry spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water before draining.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced jalapeño, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Spinach: Toss in the minced garlic and baby spinach, sautéing for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and garlic is fragrant.
- Blend the Sauce: Transfer the vegetable mixture to a blender with the roasted poblano peppers, cilantro, sour cream, bouillon, and about 2/3 cup milk. Blend until smooth.
- Heat the Blended Sauce: Return the sauce to the skillet over low heat, add cream cheese, stirring until melted and combined, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, mix in reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, cotija cheese, or pepitas. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful dish!
