Notes

Enchilada sauce:
1, 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes (I like my sauce chunky), 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon or more of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Helpful tips
  • I use enchilada sauce in this pasta dish but you can use spaghetti sauce.
  • Even though I use shallots and red bell peppers, you can use different vegetables, like spinach.
  • Don't like spaghetti? Then substitute it with linguine or your favorite pasta.
  • I don't garnish it but a sprinkling of any of the following would be a great addition: red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, fresh chopped parsley, fresh basil, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • You can also add 2 crushed garlic cloves instead of the garlic paste if you prefer.
