Prep
1

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop pulled mushrooms. Roughly chop cilantro.

2

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) over medium heat. Add bell pepper, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly softened, 4-5 minutes.

  • Add tomato paste mixture; cook, stirring, until fragrant and darkened in color, 30-60 seconds.

 

Finish Pasta
3

  • Stir cavatappi and 3 cups water (6 cups for 4 servings) into same pot. Season with salt (we used 1 tsp; 2 tsp for 4). Increase heat under pot to medium high and bring to a simmer.

  • Cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 10-12 minutes. TIP: Gently scrape pasta from bottom of pot if it begins to stick.

  • Turn off heat; stir in cream cheese until melted and combined. Stir in chopped mushrooms.

  • Sprinkle pepper jack on top of pasta; cover pot off heat until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.
