Tips:

  • For the perfect al dente pasta, cook it for about 11 minutes, or until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • If you can't find poblano peppers, you can use another type of mild pepper, such as a green bell pepper.
  • To make the chipotle sauce, you can use either canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or dried chipotle peppers. If using dried peppers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • Serve the ziti with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and some chopped fresh cilantro.
