1 tablespoon olive oil -- or 2
1 large onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
2 chipotle peppers -- see detail
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
12 fresh plum tomatoes -- chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound cooked pasta -- shells or other

Dried chipotles: wash, remove stem, slice and seed, and finely chop; or
substitute dried poblano, also called Ancho. Or Mulato.

Tomatoes: 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped;

Cook and drain your choice of pasta. In a medium skillet, heat the olive
oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2

Add the garlic, chipotle, cumin, oregano and tomatoes. Cook until the
tomatoes bubble vigorously, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and

simmer 2 more minutes.

In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked and drained pasta with the tomato
sauce and serve. Makes 4 servings. - From "While The Pasta Cooks," by
