Green spaghetti
Green spaghetti, also called espaghetti verde or espagueti verde, is a pasta, poblano chili, and crema dish in Mexican cuisine and the cuisine of Texas's Rio Grande Valley.
Description, ingredients, and preparation
[edit ]Priya Krishna, writing in The New York Times, likened the dish to "fettuccine Alfredo with a huge, verdant personality".[1]
The dish consists of spaghetti served in a roasted poblano cream sauce. The sauce is typically made from roasted poblanos and onions pureed in a blender with crema. Additional ingredients may include parsley, cilantro, and garlic. Chopped herbs and crumbled cotija are commonly used for garnish.[2] [3] [4] [5]
Serving and cultural relevance
[edit ]It is considered a celebration dish and is commonly served at weddings, parties, holidays, birthdays, baptisms, and other events both in Mexico and in Texas's Rio Grande Valley.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Popularity
[edit ]It is little known outside of Mexico and Texas's Rio Grande Valley.[2] [3] [4] [5] [7] According to Texas Monthly 's taco editor Jose Ralat, writing about Barbs B Q's version in 2022, the dish previously had "never migrated to restaurants".[6] In 2022 Ralat wrote that the restaurant's version "might be the single best dish I ate all year".[6] Eater called it a "Rio Grande Valley classic".[8]
