- In a large pan, melt the butter and add the olive oil to heat. Add the grated onion and garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sliced poblanos and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
- Place the cilantro, cream cheese, chicken bouillon, cream, milk, and poblanos in the blender. Blend till smooth, then pour into the pan and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until very smooth. If the sauce gets too thick, add some of the reserved spaghetti water to the sauce.
