Jump to RecipeMexican creamy jalapeno spaghetti recipe is a must for your next family dinner. I first had this recipe for Mexican spaghetti with crema on a Christmas dinner. I must tell you that this recipe was what was done in a second. It is creamy with a smoked spicy taste. I will show you a few tricks in case you are not that much into spicy but still love jalapeno taste.
Mexican White Spagetthi or Spaghett Blanco
Spaghetti Blanco always brings me back to Christmas at my Abuelita’s home. She was an amazing cook and some of my favorite dishes at the house were Sopa de Fideos, milanesas, and spaghetti Blanco or Rojo. My grandma used to cook spaghetti to have with Milanesas (breaded beef)
Mexican spaghetti with cream is very traditional in Mexico, is also known as Spaghetti Blanco, and is usually fried in butter and bathed in crema Mexicana or sour cream. I remember having this version of spaghetti Blanco with jalapeno on Christmas dinner at my sister’s home. It was a small twist to traditional Spaghetti blanco.
HOW TO ROAST JALAPENOS
To this authentic Mexican Spaghetti recipe, I have incorporated some roasted jalapenos. Roasted jalapenos are bathed in oil and then roasted straight into the stove flame. I just stick the jalapeno into a fork and have it roast in the stove flame. Turn it over once you have seen the skin has turned black,
HOW TO KEEP JALAPENO FROM BEING SPICY
The secret to keeping jalapenos from being spicy is the seed. The rash between the jalapeno and the seeds can add a lot of extra spicinesses and make it crazy hot. If you don’t want your jalapeno to taste too spicy take off the seeds and proceed to roast. There are some jalapenos that no matter what is spicy, but that is easy to tell by the smell. If you are not that much into spicy food get rid of the seeds and before roasting the jalapeno smell it. If it is strong to smell you better use another jalapeno.
IS MEXICAN CREAMY JALAPENO SPAGHETTI RECIPE SPICY?
This will depend on how spicy are your jalapenos and how many you add. If you get rid of the seeds before roasting you can get the jalapeno smoked flavor without adding too much spicy taste. What I suggest is to roast 2 to 3 jalapenos and incorporate them into the cream by one tasting before adding more until you can achieve your own perfect taste.
