This dish is a spicy mash-up of two comfort food classics: broccoli cheddar soup and mac ‘n’ cheese. The result? Twice the deliciousness! After sautéing broccoli and jalapeño, you’ll whip up a creamy, cheesy sauce packed with cheddar and sour cream. Just stir in curly cavatappi pasta, top with crispy fried onions and scallion greens, and dig in!

Preparation
1
Prep

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Finely dice jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat.

2
Cook Pasta

• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.

3
Cook Broccoli

• While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, scallion whites, a pinch of salt, pepper, and as much jalapeño as you like. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 4-6 minutes.  • Reduce heat to low; stir in white cheddar, cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, Vidalia onion paste, garlic powder, half the Tuscan Heat Spice, and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (all the Tuscan Heat Spice and ¾ cup pasta water for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. TIP: If pasta is not done cooking, ladle pasta cooking water directly from pot. Keep broccoli and sauce covered off heat until pasta is finished cooking.

4
Finish & Serve

• Stir drained cavatappi into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If pasta seems dry, stir in splashes of reserved pasta cooking water as needed. • Divide pasta between bowls; top with scallion greens and crispy fried onions. Serve.  ***Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
