Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, dice the green bell pepper and small red onion.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the chipotle tomato sauce and chili flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce and vegetables.
Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded Oaxaca cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Mexican Pasta Bake with Chipotle and Cheese!
