03 Method

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. (*Be sure to add at least 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.) If making fresh homemade pasta, follow this step-by-step tutorial. Drain the cooked pasta, toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, remove the chicken meat from the bones, shredding it into pieces. Set aside. (Save the chicken bones to make super simple slow cooker chicken broth.)
Step 3

Pour the remaining 1/8 cup of extra virgin olive oil and the 1/8 cup toasted sesame oil into a bowl or measuring cup.
Step 4

Dump the contents of the can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into a fine mesh strainer that’s set over a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, press the peppers so that the sauce drips down into the bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce to the bowl with the oils. Remove most of the seeds from 2 – 4 of the chipotle peppers, mince the peppers and add to the bowl with the oils. (How many peppers you use depends on how spicy you want your pasta to be.) Add the garlic to the bowl and stir to combine.
Step 5

Set a large saucepan on your stovetop over medium-hight heat. When the pan is hot, dump in the oil and pepper mixture. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta to the pan. Using tongs, toss the pasta in the pan to coat it in the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shredded chicken.
Step 6

Serve with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil and a sprinkle of chopped almonds.
