  1. In a blender, combine roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle peppers and 1 cup of vegetable broth. Blend on high for 1 minute.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add oil then pasta and continuously move around for 1-2 minutes or until pasta is golden.
  3. Add in the blended tomato sauce and mix to combine, continuously moving it around for 5-6 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens then add in 6 cups of vegetable broth. Mix to combine.
  4. Lower heat and let everything come to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes or until pasta is fully cooked. Add a generous pinch of salt then mix again. Taste and add more salt if needed. Lower heat to the lowest and let simmer for 20 minutes or so just to let the flavors develop more. 
  5. For the crema, simply combine everything in a blender and blend on high until smooth. If needed add a few more splashes of non dairy milk. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  6. Serve sopita with a dollop of crema, fresh cilantro & a generous squeeze of lime!
