Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 1/2 cups chopped red bell pepper (about 2 large peppers)
12 oz uncooked cavatappi (about 4 cups)
2 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 oz all-purpose flour (about 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 tsp butter
4 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
4 oz gruyere cheese, shredded (1 cup)
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
dash of ground nutmeg
dash of ground red pepper
cooking spray
2 tbsp dry breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add bell pepper; sauté 3 minutes. Remove mixture from pan; set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
Combine milk and flour in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Melt butter in saucepan over medium-high heat; add milk mixture, stirring with a whisk. Cook 3 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; gradually add cheeses, stirring with a whisk until cheeses melt.
