Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound cellentani (corkscrew) pasta uncooked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter sliced into tablespoon-sized pieces
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into 1-ounce cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly shredded (sharp recommended)
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese freshly shredded

Instructions
 

  • Pour the uncooked cellentani pasta into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Scatter the butter slices and cream cheese cubes evenly over the pasta.
  • Sprinkle the kosher salt and cayenne pepper over the top.
  • Pour the whole milk and heavy cream over the mixture. Stir gently to combine and ensure the pasta is in an even layer coated by the liquid.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 1 to 2 hours. Start checking at the 1-hour mark; the pasta should be cooked to al dente (tender with a slight bite) and most liquid absorbed.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, add the freshly shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses.
  • Stir constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
