Rattlesnake Pasta 🍝🌶️ Ingredients - 8 oz penne pasta - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into thin strips - 1/2 lb andouille sausage, sliced (optional) - 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced - 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced - 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 cup heavy cream - 1/2 cup chicken broth - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat) - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish Directions 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. Cook the Chicken and Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and andouille sausage (if using), cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. 4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. 5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta, chicken, and sausage back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot.
