Cooking Steps

Cook pasta
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). 
  • Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 6-7 min, stirring occasionally, then add broccoli to the pot. Cook for 1-2 min, until pasta is tender but still firm to the bite and broccoli is bright green. Reserve 1 cup (2 cups) pasta water.
  • Strain, then set aside in strainer.
Cook chicken
2
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
Start pasta
3
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • In the same large pot from step 1, heat 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter over medium.
  • When butter is melted, add onions. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until onions soften. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining garlic salt. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Finish sauce
4
  • To the pot, in a slow, steady stream, add reserved pasta water, then 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer over high.
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.
  • Add cheese and cream cheese. Cook for 45 sec-1 min, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and combined. 
Finish and serve
5
  • To the pot with sauce, add pasta and broccoli. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice chicken. Add any resting juices to pot.
  • Divide pasta between bowls and top with chicken.
