How to make it
1
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Zest and quarter lemon.
2
Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (1½ cups for 4 servings), then drain.
3
While pasta cooks, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Stir in as much lemon zest as you like. Season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.
4
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add pork* and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
5
Reduce heat under pan with pork to medium low; stir in peas, Vidalia onion paste, cream sauce base, cream cheese, and ⅓ cup reserved pasta cooking water (⅔ cup for 4 servings). (TIP: If pasta isn't finished cooking yet, ladle pasta cooking water straight from the pot.) Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Turn off heat; stir in drained cavatappi and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4) (if needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until everything is coated in a creamy sauce). Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add another squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
6
Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Top with lemony breadcrumbs and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
