Cajun Rattlesnake Pasta image

I ran across this irresistable recipe on Allrecipes website. It was posted by Zlatko Muminovic. He states: "A rich creamy and lightly spicy pasta dish with fresh vegetables and rattlesnake meat or grilled chicken." Cook's Note: Make sure that your rattlesnake meat is thoroughly washed and free of any bones before cutting and cooking.
