- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
- 12 teaspoon sugar
- salt & freshly ground black pepper

- Roast the poblanos or the green peppers and the jalapeno directly over a gas jet of the range (or under a pre-heated broiler), turning them often with a pair of tongs, until blackened on all sides.

- Pour in the wine, increase the heat to high and boil until the wine is reduced to 1 tablespoon.
- Add the tomatoes and two-thirds of the peppers and heat to boiling.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to break up the tomato pieces.
- Add the basil, sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine the goat cheese and the remaining peppers in a food processor or blender.
- Process until the peppers are finely chopped and the cheese is very creamy.
- Prepare pasta according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
