What Is Rattlesnake Pasta
Rattlesnake pasta is a spicy, creamy pasta dish that typically includes grilled chicken, jalapeños and a creamy Alfredo or Cajun-style sauce.
Despite its name, it usually doesn’t contain actual rattlesnake meat — the name comes from the dish’s bold, spicy kick.
This dish is popular in Southwestern and Cajun-inspired cuisine, offering a flavorful balance of heat and creamy richness.
