Preparation
1
Cook bacon

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, flipping often, until crispy.** Remove from heat. 
  • Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • Discard all but 1 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) bacon fat from pan. 

2
Prep broccoli

  • Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

3
Cook cavatappi and broccoli

  • To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook for 7-8 min, stirring occasionally, until almost tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
  • Add broccoli to the pot and cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • Drain and return cavatappi and broccoli to the pot, off heat.

4
Make sauce

  • Reheat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium.
  • When hot, add onions. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until tender. 
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend and Zesty Garlic Blend over onions, then stir to coat.
  • While whisking, add cream and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Add cream cheese and broth concentrate. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly. 
  • Remove from heat, then stir for 1 min, until cheddar melts. Season with pepper. 

5
Finish cavatappi

  • To the pan with sauce, add cavatappi and broccoli.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then stir to combine. (TIP: If you prefer a lighter sauce, add some reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.) 

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide cavatappi and sauce between bowls.
  • Roughly crumble bacon over top.
