Directions
Step 1 -In a 10-inch, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until it is shimmering.

Step 9 -Position an oven rack in the middle position.
Step 10 -Preheat the oven to the broil setting on high.
Step 11 -Add 1/2 of the provolone cheese and 1/2 of the pepper jack cheese to the pasta mixture and stir to combine.
