Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the cavatappi 1 minute less than the package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl or large measuring glass, whisk together the Carnation Evaporated Milk, heavy cream, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. 3. Add the cubed mozzarella, Colby Jack, butter, and the milk mixture to a 9x9 air fryer-safe baking dish. Stir gently to combine. 4. Air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Stir well, then continue cooking for 6–8 more minutes, stirring once more if needed, until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cook times may vary based on air fryer model. 5. Fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated in the cheese sauce. 6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the top. Air fry at 350°F for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheddar is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. 7. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
