UNO'S RATTLESNAKE PASTA COPYCAT
We really enjoy Pizzeria Uno's Rattlesnake Pasta but eating out all the time gets expensive. I found this recipe online and we loved it. Next time I'll probably cut back to about 6 oz of the colby jack cheese, but it's definitely a keeper! (Edited the recipe to decrease the flour a little and the Italian seasoning after suggestions from raters)
