Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of salted water to a boil.

Once water is boiling, add @gluten-free fresh fusilli pasta{8%oz} to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente ~{10%minutes}. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water.

While pasta cooks, heat @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @broccoli{2%cups}, @scallions{2%unit}(whites only), a pinch of @salt{1%tsp}, @black pepper{½%tsp}, and as much @jalapeño{1%unit} as you like. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender ~{5%minutes}. Remove from heat.

In a #medium bowl{}, combine @cream cheese{2%oz}, @cheddar cheese{1%cup}, @white cheddar cheese{½%cup}, @sour cream{2%tbsp}, @tuscan heat spice{1%tbsp}, @garlic powder{1%tsp}, and @vidalia onion paste{1%tbsp} until smooth. Stir drained pasta into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. If pasta seems dry, stir in splashes of reserved pasta cooking water as needed. Divide between bowls and top with @crispy fried onions{¼%cup} and remaining scallion greens.
