• Cooks' notesCook the pasta until it is just tender; do not overcook. This dish may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baking. You will need to add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time. Chipotle chili powder is quite spicy. If you can't find it or would like a less spicy version, use regular chili powder instead.
