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 for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- 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 in the middle of the oven for or 10-12 min, 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.
- Reheat the large non-stick pan over medium.
- 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 for 1 min, stirring often, until toasted.
- Add milk and reserved pasta water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Slowly add cheese, stirring constantly for 1 min, until combined. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
