2 cups wholegrain pasta
water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 ring Spanish chorizo sliced into rounds or chopped into small cubes
1 tablespoons chipotle pepper shredded, use a second tablespoon for a hotter (and smokier) pasta
1 cup chopped tomatoes canned or fresh will work
1 cup tomato passata
1 teaspoon garlic puree
Olive oil to season
Black pepper to season

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and salt. Stir and cook the pasta according to the time on the pasta package.
Drain the water with a colander. Leave the pasta in the colander, so you can reuse the pot.
Turn the heat low, then add the chorizo, garlic puree, chipotle, and olive oil to the pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato passata. Heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the pasta back into the sauce. Stir to combine.
Season with olive oil and black pepper. Stir well, then serve.
