Chipotle pasta sauce

Sounds maybe a bit weird, but try it out, I think you'll like it. This recipe comes from a co-worker of an ex-girlfriend, and it originally called for chicken, but f that.

start with some soy curls. A handful or two? probably two. Rehydrate them in some kind of liquid. I use water with some soy sauce mixed in. While they're hydrating, make the sauce.

2-3 cloves garlic
3 chipotle peppers (the canned kind in adobo sauce)
a couple spoonfuls of the adobo sauce
1/4-1/3 cup of white wine (I usually use a cheap chardonnay)
same amount of extra virgin olive oil

whiz all this together really good in a food processor of some sort. Then add some green onion that's been chopped up kind of finely.

once the soy curls are hydrated, squeeze them out a bit and put them in a container, and then pour the sauce over and stir and let them marinate for a little bit. This part can be skipped if you're hungry.

Boil pasta, sautee soy curls with all the sauce while the pasta is cooking, drain pasta and toss it all together in the end. I like to put nooch on this too, but that's totally optional.
