This Louisiana pasta recipe is perfect for date nights, weekends, or simple meal-prep dishes!
It is crunchy, creamy pasta is one of my favorites. When I first came up with this recipe I had never heard of Louisiana Pasta until one of my TikTok followers pointed out how similar it was, so I went to the Cheesecake Factory and realized they stole MY recipe! JK ;
But, apparently its a big staple, so I named it after the recipe every one is familiar with!
Like a chicken Alfredo, this pasta has a cheesy and creamy texture but a twist! The red peppers and onions give it a unique bite, and many have said its even BETTER than the original.
Instead of going out to restaurants, it’s so much better to make popular favorites at home. Not only are you able to control the dairy, carb and salt content, fresh food just tastes better! Making dishes at home isn’t even hard, this Louisiana Pasta recipe only has a fresh ingredients and it can be made on a busy week night!
