Introduction
This recipe is similar to the Louisiana Chicken Pasta at the Cheesecake Factory. I added some changes and replicated it without knowledge of their recipe, so it has some different flavors, but overall it's a medium-spice level pasta that's cheesy and great paired with melon for those who want something to help any extra kick for a southern-style dinner.
