Bring a #medium pot{} of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry @scallions{2%bunches}, then trim and thinly slice, separating greens and whites.

Once water boils, add @cavatappi pasta{8%oz} to pot. Cook until al dente ~{9%minutes}. Scoop out and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta using a #strainer{}.

Meanwhile, tear @pulled pork{12%oz} into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Heat a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add pork and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring a few times, until pork begins to brown ~{5%minutes}. Stir in scallion whites and cook ~{30%seconds}. Transfer to a plate.

After draining cavatappi, lower heat under pan used for pork to medium and add @butter{2%tbsp}. Once melted, stir in @flour{2%tbsp} and cook ~{30%seconds}. Slowly whisk in @milk{1½%cups}, reserved pasta cooking water, @Sweet and Smoky BBQ Seasoning{1%packet}, and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then let bubble until just thickened ~{2%minutes}.

Remove pan from heat and add @cream cheese{4%oz} and @Mexican cheese blend{1%cup}, stirring until smooth. Stir in cavatappi and pork to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide pasta between plates. Garnish with scallion greens and @hot sauce{2%tbsp} (to taste).
