Cooking Steps

Cook pasta
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Strain, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
  • Strain cavatappi, then return to the pot, off heat. 
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, strip 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Using your hands or a heavy-bottomed pan, gently crush crispy shallots in packaging until they resemble fine crumbs.
Cook beef and onions
3
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When hot, add beef, onions and thyme. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Season with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Start sauce
4
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add cooking wine and broth concentrate. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until wine is absorbed.
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top. Stir for 30 sec, until mixture is coated.
  • Add cream, mozzarella and half the Parmesan. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
5
  • To the pot with pasta, add sauce and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
  • Divide pasta between bowls.
  • Sprinkle crispy shallot crumbs, parsley and remaining Parmesan over top.
