Fettuccine with Poblano Alfredo
Poblano peppers are magical.
I’m sure you’ve dived into a plate of them, roasted and stuffed with deliciously gooey cheese. You’ve probably also chipped-dipped the heck out of them in a mild salsa.
Oh… but they’re so much more. They can help you eat healthier and lead a better life (well, eat healthier anyway). Like in this recipe for Fettuccine with Poblano Alfredo.
The poblano peppers add an interesting depth of flavor to this Alfredo sauce and help thicken it. The cream and butter are gone, but you’ll never miss them. I substituted milk for the cream and olive oil for the butter… and let the poblano peppers do all the rest. You’re welcome.
Here’s the recipe… you’re going to love it!
Don’t worry; I’ve still dosed this Fettuccine Alfredo recipe with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. I mean, it’s an Alfredo after all.
I’m not a heretic. (OK…maybe a little bit.)
What a lovely recipe! I have never cooked with Poblano peppers, however, this recipe would be a great dish to try 🙂
Thanks Betsy! Unlike many peppers, most poblanos are not super spicy. Hope you try it!
looks delicious and definitely different!
Thanks Lexie! Let me know if you do…
Okay, I’ve always thought fettuccine alfredo was a little boring, but this sounds amazing. What a great idea to add a poblano pepper. I actually have a few right now. I may try this tomorrow night! Thanks for the recipe. Pinning.
Thanks Tricia for the compliment and for the PIN! Let me know if you try it…
