Creamy Cavatappi & Cheese image

Dive fork-first into oodles of noodles baked to bubbly perfection and coated with a to-die-for sharp cheddar cheese sauce in this cavatappi, a grown-up version of mac and cheese. Hot sauce lends mild heat that's delectable with the smoky topping. -Barbara Colucci, Rockledge, Florida

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound cavatappi
4 tablespoons of butter (dairy free as desired)
4 cloves of finely minced garlic
3 tablespoons of flour
1 cup of broth (I use veggie broth but whatever you have will work)
1 cup milk of choice (plain milk or dairy free works)
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese (violife makes a great parmesan cheese that melts nicely but I also have a vegan parmesan recipe HERE*)
Salt + pepper to taste
Optional for serving: 2 heaping cups of steamed broccoli florets

Steps:

Cook the pasta according to package directions.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Mix in the broth, milk, italian seasoning, cheese, salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined and bring to a simmer.
Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is fully melted and combined into the sauce.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce and stir to coat fully. Serve immediately and ENJOY!

Creamy Cavatappi Pasta. This creamy cavatappi pasta recipe has a secret: it’s impossibly creamy but doesn’t have a single drop of cream! Instead of heavy cream, you’ll make a wonderful cauliflower sauce infused with six gloves of garlic.
Cavatappi Pasta With Basil Marinara. Why use bland red sauce from a jar when you can make your own in minutes? Homemade red sauce is a real game-changer on pasta night.
Pesto Cavatappi (Noodles & Company Copycat) Noodles & Company is a popular fast-food Italian restaurant known for its pesto cavatappi. It’s their most popular dish on the menu, and for a very good reason.
Cheesy Bacon Cavatappi Pasta. What I love most about this cheesy bacon cavatappi pasta casserole is that it’s easy and always a crowd-pleaser. For a double punch of bacon flavor, it combines cream of bacon soup with milk, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese.
3-Cheese Cavatappi. Nothing goes better with pasta (especially cavatappi pasta) than cheese. So, the next time you’re craving mac and cheese, give elbow macaroni the night off and swap it out for cavatappi.
