Mexican Green Spaghetti Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Green Spaghetti Bake.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.

2. Step 2

   Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook it according to the package instructions until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which usually takes about 12 minutes.

   After cooking, drain the spaghetti and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.

4. Step 4

   In a medium pot, combine chopped green bell peppers, water, chicken bouillon, and minced garlic.

5. Step 5

   Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the peppers become tender, which should take around 7 to 10 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re soft, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly—this will make blending easier.

   While the pepper mixture cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
