Description

Rattlesnake pasta is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy penne pasta dish that brings restaurant-quality flavor into your home kitchen. It’s an easy-to-make, versatile meal perfect for any occasion, featuring chicken, bell peppers, and a rich sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 jalapeño peppers, sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and jalapeños. Sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  4. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook until it starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until melted and smooth.
  5. Add cooked pasta, chicken, and sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with sauce. Toss gently until everything is well coated.
  6. Serve your rattlesnake pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the jalapeño peppers before slicing.
  • Ensure pasta is cooked al dente to maintain texture in the sauce.
  • Whisk the sauce continuously to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
