For a richer flavor, consider using freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your desired level of spiciness. If rattlesnake meat is unavailable, substitute with chicken or rabbit for a similar texture and flavor profile. Ensure the rattlesnake is cooked to a safe internal temperature to eliminate any health risks.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well. (8 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, zucchini, squash, and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
03
Step
4 mins
Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Simmer for 4 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the creamy sauce. Stir in the minced jalapeño, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Gently fold in the Parmesan cheese and diced tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low to keep warm. (10 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Cook the rattlesnake: In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Dredge the rattlesnake meat in flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Fry the floured rattlesnake in the hot oil until cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Step
5 mins
Assemble and serve: Arrange the fried rattlesnake on top of the creamy pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy this exotic delicacy.
