Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The smoky, creamy sauce divides opinion — those who enjoy bold, smoky flavours tend to love it, while others find the chipotle and smoky base paste overpowering together.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and simple weeknight dish, with many finding it ready in well under 30 minutes and easy enough for older children to make.
- Suggestions: Use half the chipotle paste to keep the heat manageable, especially for families; reducing the smoky base paste slightly can also help balance the overall flavour. Adding extra cheese or serving with garlic bread are popular ways to round out the dish.
- Next-day meals: Portions are generally well received for two, though some felt the dish could benefit from a little extra pasta — around 200g — to make it more filling.
