Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce. - Add cavatappi to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-9 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return cavatappi to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut bacon into 1/4-inch strips.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add broccoli, and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 10-12 min, in the middle of the oven, until tender crisp.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-8 min, stirring occasionally, until crispy.**
Remove the pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined cutting board. Set aside.
- Re-heat the large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then swirl to melt.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the garlic salt over veggies. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 1 min.
- Add milk and reserved pasta water to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Slowly add cheese, stirring constantly, until combined, 1 min. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add cavatappi to the pan with cheese sauce, then stir to combine.
