Cooking Steps

Boil cavatappi and prep
1
  • Add cavatappi to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-9 min.
  • Reserve 2 tbsp pasta water, then drain and return cavatappi to the same pot, off heat.
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add panko, season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Make cheese sauce
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 2 tbsp butter, then swirl until melted.
  • Add peas and shallots, then cook, stirring often, until shallots soften, 2-3 min.
  • Sprinkle flour over top. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 1 min.
  • Slowly whisk in milk, then whisk in garlic powder. Cook, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
  • Slowly whisk in Monterey Jack and half the white cheddar, stirring constantly until combined, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Assemble and broil
3
  • Add reserved pasta water and cavatappi to the pan with cheese sauce. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer mac and cheese to a 8x8-inch baking dish.)
  • Sprinkle remaining white cheddar and panko mixture over top.
  • Bake in the top of the oven until panko mixture is golden-brown, 2-3 min. (NOTE: Keep an eye on mac and cheese so it doesn't burn!)
Finish and serve
4
  • Divide easy peas-y mac and cheese between bowls or plates.
