Preparation
1
Cook cavatappi and prep peppers

  • 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, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.

2
Cook chorizo and veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chorizo. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Add peppers and half the corn (use all for 4 servings). Cook for 5-6 min, stirring often, until corn is tender and peppers are tender-crisp.
  • Add Tex-Mex paste and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook for 30 sec, until water is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper.

3
Make sauce

  • Add cream cheese, Monterey Jack, half the cheddar and 1/2 cup (1 cup) milk to the same pan. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until cheeses melt and sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat, then stir in 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.)

4
Finish and serve

  • To the pot with pasta, add chorizo-cheese sauce, then stir to coat.
  • Divide cheesy cavatappi between bowls, then top with remaining cheddar.
  • Using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors, snip green onions over top.
