Steps:
- Cook pasta al dente.
- Dice up mozzarella, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes (i like to use kitchen shears for the sun dried toms).
- Toss cooled pasta (don't want to melt the cheese or maybe you do!) with all the other ingredients.
- Pour reserved sun dried tomato oil (use whatever you need to get it saucy), chipotle sauce (use whatever you desire for spiciness) over pasta, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- If you can't find the chipotle garnishing sauce (I can't remember where I found mine and it is almost out!) just use some diced up, about 2, chipotles in adobo sauce or just the adobo sauce and add some mayo, about 1/4 cup to make it creamy and you should be fine. I'm all about shortcuts tho so i hope i can find more!
- Refrigerate for a couple hours, but I like overnight.
- Add chopped up spinach before serving at room temperature.
- Oh and don't forget the salt.i feel that salt really makes the flavors of the chipotles come alive!

Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Boil the pasta in a large sauce pan until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large frying pan on medium heat and, stirring occasionally, sauté the onions for 2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in the garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cumin. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the chipotles, shrimps, lemon juice, and half-and-half (or cream or evaporated milk). Simmer until the shrimps are just cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of shrimps used. Stir in the cilantro. Taste and correct the seasoning by adding salt, pepper, and, if needed, additional chipotle to suit your taste. Return the pasta to the sauce pan in which it was cooked, sprinkle with the grated cheese (if used), and pour the shrimp sauce over it. Toss until well blended and transfer to a serving dish. Serves 4 as a main course.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chipotle pasta. Use the best quality pasta you can find, and be sure to use fresh vegetables and herbs.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: There are many different ways to make chipotle pasta, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You can add different vegetables, meats, or cheeses to the recipe, or you can change up the sauce by using different types of peppers or spices.
- Make sure the pasta is cooked al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The chipotle sauce should be simmered for just a few minutes, until it is heated through and the flavors have had a chance to meld. Overcooking the sauce can make it bitter.
- Serve the pasta immediately: Chipotle pasta is best served immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming dry or soggy.
Conclusion:
Chipotle pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its smoky, spicy flavor, chipotle pasta is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chipotle pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
