You can omit the jalapeno for an additional poblano to bring the heat level down a bit. Pair this spicy pesto with cream and tomatoes and pour over pasta for an out-of-this-world entree. Susie Fisher, Watertown, MA
Ingredients:
2 large poblano peppers
1 jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
