Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a #medium pot{} of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Halve @bell pepper{2%unit} lengthwise; remove stem and seeds. Thinly slice @chives{¼%oz}(sliced). Tear @fresh mozzarella{8%oz} into bite-size pieces.

Rub each bell pepper half with a drizzle of @olive oil{}; season with salt and pepper. Place on a #baking sheet{}, cut sides down. Roast on top rack until softened and lightly charred, ~{20%minutes}.

Meanwhile, place @butter{1%tbsp} in a #small microwave-safe bowl{}; microwave until just melted, ~{30%seconds}. Stir in @panko breadcrumbs{½%cup} and season with salt.

Once water is boiling, add @cavatappi pasta{12%oz} to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, ~{10%minutes}. Drain using a #strainer{} and set aside.

While pasta cooks, heat a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @marinara sauce{28%oz}, @water{½%cup}, half the chives, a pinch of @chili flakes{2%tsp}, and a big pinch of salt; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until slightly thickened, ~{4%minutes}. Turn off heat; stir in @cream cheese{4%tbsp} until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Once bell pepper is done roasting, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Transfer bell pepper to a cutting board, then thinly slice. Heat broiler to high. Stir sliced bell pepper and drained cavatappi into pan with sauce. If sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper. If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer mixture now to a baking dish. Sprinkle pasta mixture with mozzarella and panko. Broil until cheese melts and panko is golden brown, ~{3%minutes}. Watch carefully to avoid burning!

Sprinkle pasta bake with remaining chives and as many remaining chili flakes as you like. Serve family style or divide between plates.
