In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cavatappi pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Pasta

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Lower the heat and stir in the queso cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Add the Cheese

Add the cooked cavatappi pasta and peas to the cheese sauce, mixing well to coat evenly.

Combine Pasta and Peas

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. If desired, sprinkle bread crumbs on top for added texture.

Prepare for Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Bake

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Baked Mac + Cheese!
