  2. Prepare the béchamel sauce by melting butter in the skillet, whisking in flour and gradually adding cream to create a thick sauce.
  3. Combine ⅔ of the caramelized onions into the béchamel, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Cook cavatappi macaroni in boiling salted water until just shy of al dente, then mix into the béchamel sauce.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley after baking and serve warm.
