Instructions

6 steps

1

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

Halve bell pepper lengthwise; remove stem and seeds. Thinly slice chives. Tear mozzarella into bite-size pieces.
2

Rub each bell pepper half with a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, cut sides down.

Roast on top rack until softened and lightly charred, 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a cutting board, then thinly slice.

Heat broiler to high.
3

While bell pepper roasts, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko and season with salt.
4

Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

Drain and set aside.

While pasta cooks, rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan
5

While pasta cooks, heat a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add marinara, ½ cup water, half the chives, a pinch of chili flakes, and a big pinch of salt; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes.

Turn off heat; stir in cream cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Use pan used for shrimp here.
6

Stir sliced bell pepper and drained cavatappi into pan with sauce. If sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer mixture now to a baking dish.) Sprinkle with mozzarella and panko.

Broil on top rack until cheese melts and panko is golden brown, 2-4 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Sprinkle with remaining chives and more chili flakes if desired. Divide between plates and serve.

Stir shrimp into pan with bell pepper and cavatappi.
