Cooking Steps

Cook cavatappi
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce. 
  • To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain cavatappi, then return to the pot, off heat.

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. 
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 
  • Thinly slice green onions. 
Cook peppers

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring often, until tender. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Transfer to a plate.

  • To the same pan, add beef and corn. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
