How to Make Spicy Low Fat 3 Cheese Pasta With Chipotle

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 1 medium zucchini (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté until onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, reserving 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce for later. Add 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup of crumbled cotija cheese. Mix until cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared dish. Top with 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
