    2      teaspoons     ground cumin
      1/4  teaspoon      dried oregano
   12                    fresh plum tomatoes -- chopped

    2      tablespoons   chopped fresh cilantro
    1      pound         cooked pasta -- shells or other
 
 Dried chipotles: wash, remove stem, slice and seed, and finely chop; or
 substitute dried poblano, also called Ancho. Or Mulato.
 
 Tomatoes: 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped;
 or 2 cans (14 ounces each) diced tomatoes
 
 Cook and drain your choice of pasta. In a medium skillet, heat the olive
 oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2
 minutes.
 
 Add the garlic, chipotle, cumin, oregano and tomatoes. Cook until the
 tomatoes bubble vigorously, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and
 sugar, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cilantro and
 simmer 2 more minutes.
 
 In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked and drained pasta with the tomato
 sauce and serve. Makes 4 servings. - From "While The Pasta Cooks," by
