Equipment

  • - Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer

  • - Pasta Machine (optional for making fresh pasta)

  • - Chef's Knife

  • - Cutting Board

  • - Measuring Cups and Spoons

  • - Large Saucepan

  • - Mixing Bowls (various sizes for different preparation stages)

  • - Oven-safe Ramekin (optional, for baking cheesy topping under the broiler if desired)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound fresh poblano chiles (about 4)

  • 1/2 large white onion, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips (1 3/4 cups)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/2 fresh serrano chile, minced (1 teaspoon), including seeds

1

Instruction 1

Lay poblanos on their sides on racks of gas burners, then turn flames on moderately high. Roast poblanos, turning occasionally with tongs, until skins are blistered and charred, 4 to 6 minutes. (Alternatively, broil poblanos on a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat, turning occasionally with tongs, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer poblanos immediately to a large bowl and cover. Let steam 10 minutes, then peel or rub off skins and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Cut poblanos into 1/4-inch-thick strips.

Instruction 2

Cook onion with salt in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add poblanos, serrano, garlic, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Instruction 3

While onion is browning, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 14 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Add pasta to chile mixture along with crema and reserved cooking water. Increase heat to high and cook, tossing, until pasta is well coated, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese.
