Pasta Napoletana Ala Cheesecake Factory
This pasta is one of the most delicious pasta that I’ve ever tasted in my life, a crowd pleaser. I only serve this on special occasion, and it disappear quickly. It is one of the pasta selections in the wide range of food menu at Cheesecake Factory, I loved it and had to recreate it. Yes, this is not the healthiest of them all, but all things excessive is not good. So, eat moderately and occasionally.
This is the ultimate meat lovers’ sauce, made with napolitana sauce and creamy white sauce with all the meat you can think of. The napolitana sauce taste like meat lover’s pizza where the recipe was inspired. You can have the best taste of pizza, carbonara and Italian pasta all in one. Can’t get any better than that.
