The story behind
Green spaghetti is a true staple of Mexican comfort food. I remember the first time I tried it; I was surprised that despite being made with chilies, it wasn't spicy, just incredibly rich and smoky. It's the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug from your grandma. It’s traditionally served as a side dish for roasted meats, but it’s so good it can easily be the main star. I suggest pairing it with a fresh cucumber water or a light beer for a perfect lunch. It's definitely a crowd-pleaser that brings a touch of Mexico to any table.
