Cook the nopales in boiling water with a pinch of baking soda to cut the slime for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 of chopped onion. In a deep pot, heat the olive oil and cook the carrots, onions, and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the cascabel chili until it pops if you like it very spicy; if not, remove it before it boils. Incorporate the cooked nopales into the pot, along with the previously fried pasta in oil and the tomato puree. Add 3-4 cups of hot water. Cook for 5 more minutes and adjust the seasoning. Finally, add the zucchini and cilantro, let it cook for about 6-8 minutes, adding a little water and salt if necessary. When the pasta is soft, turn off the heat.
