Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the 250 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, dice the onion and mince the garlic.

3

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5

Chop the 2 chipotle peppers and add them to the pan, stirring well.

6

Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the pasta is ready, add it directly to the sauce in the pan. Toss to coat the pasta thoroughly in the chipotle sauce.
