Cooking Steps
- 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 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
- Strain cavatappi, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
- 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.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add mushrooms. Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to soften.
- 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.
- 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 pepper.
- To the pot with cavatappi, add sauce and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
- Divide pasta mixture between bowls.
- Sprinkle crispy shallot crumbs, parsley and remaining Parmesan over top.
