Prepare the Chipotle Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add a small amount of butter or oil, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped or pureed, depending on preference) and stir. Add a splash of cream or reserved pasta water to thin the sauce slightly if needed. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
