Serves4
Ingredients
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Colby jack cheese, shredded
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 oz gruyere
- 8oz cavatappi pasta, boiled according to package instructions
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In the Crispi Pro glass container, add butter, cream, evaporated milk, salt pepper, paprika, chicken bouillon powder, dijon mustard, corn starch. Whisk everything until it is well combined.
- Slide in the glass container in the air fryer and bake for 10 to 12 minutes stirring halfway through, until the cream is hot and slightly thickened.
- Gradually stir in 3/4 of each shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, colby jack, gruyere) a handful at a time.
- Mix gently until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of cream.
- Bake again at 350 F for 7 to 8 minutes or until the sauce is completely melted and glossy.
- Stir in the cooked pasta until evenly coated in the cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake at 365°F for 10 minutes or until the top is golden bubbly and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.
Tip: Pat the protein dry before it hits the pan — moisture is what stops a proper crust from forming.
