Instructions

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