Instructions
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
