This is my favorite dish from Cheesecake Factory. But after the pandemic it’s been very disappointing. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for, it was delicious just like it was before!!
Five Stars!!! Kid approved my 10 yr old asked for seconds. This was far better than the restaurant and not greasy. I will be adding this to dinner rotation. Thank you! Blessings 🙂

Hi! I wanted to make this pasta but the measurements were a little confusing. On the youtube video, there was cream cheese added but I don’t see it here on the recipe. How many servings does this pasta make?
This dish was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have parmesan cheese so I used cheddar and used chipotle sauce instead of adobo chipotle paste. It turned out great! Thankyou for the recipe.
