I'm a pasta person. It's the first thing I order no matter which restaurant I'm going to. The Cheesecake Factory is no exception. However, some pastas are better than others. Here's a definitive ranking of the 12 best pastas at the Cheesecake Factory. Show
12. Spaghetti and MeatballsWhile their spaghetti and meatballs taste homemade and comforting, it isn't incredibly remarkable. If you're in the mood, definitely try it, but their other pastas are much more unique. 11. Shrimp ScampiThis is a must-try dish for shrimp fans. While this dish isn't quite as great as the other pasta on this list, it is still by far the best shrimp scampi I've ever tried, so put it on your to-eat list. 10. Spicy Chicken Chipotle PastaIf you're looking for a little kick in your Cheesecake Factory dish, consider the Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. The asparagus is so good and fresh, and a veggie I have never considered adding in an entree like this. Plus, the tortilla strips on top add an exquisite little crunch. 9. Cajun Jambalaya PastaI love cajun flavors with anything, but dishes with pasta and chicken complement them the best. This dish may not be the best cajun dish out there, but it's certainly up there. It's easily one of the best pasta at The Cheesecake Factory. 8. Cacio E Pepe PastaAn Italian classic gets a delicious Cheesecake Factory twist in this dish. This Cacio E Pepe contains a delightful blend of both Romano and Parmesan, as well as a unique addition of arugula. 7. Evelyn's Favorite PastaNamed after Evelyn Overton, whose cheesecakes began the Cheesecake Factory, this pasta brings history to us. Evelyn's pasta consists of rigatoni tossed with broccoli, oven-dried tomato, zucchini, roasted eggplant, peppers, artichoke, kalamata olives, onion, garlic, and pine nuts. As a plus, this pasta can easily be made vegan. Just ask for it with olive oil instead of butter, and sans cheese. 6. Pasta Da VinciThis pasta is truly a work of art and deserves its name. The star of this dish is the Madeira wine sauce, which is simply unforgettable. The chicken and mushrooms bring the pasta up to a level which is downright legendary. 5. Four Cheese PastaThere's no such thing as too much cheese, and the Cheesecake Factory proves that with this four-cheese pasta. If you're curious, the cheeses included are mozzarella, ricotta, Romano, and Parmesan. 4. Chicken BellagioBasil pasta may be simple, but in this case, it certainly steals the show. The combination with the chicken leaves you wanting more, even with the Cheesecake Factory's huge portions. 3. Fettuccine AlfredoWhile fettuccine Alfredo may be pretty commonplace, it has a flavor that is completely irresistible and is my go-to at any restaurant. The Cheesecake Factory does a fantastic job and has one of my favorites. 2. Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted GarlicRoasted garlic is the cherry on top of any kind of pasta. It adds a type of depth you just can't get anywhere else. The Cheesecake Factory really shows they've got this down with their Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic. 1.

Cheesecake Factory fulfills every pasta-related dream you've ever had with their Louisiana Chicken pasta.

Cheesecake Factory version. Don't let the eight steps throw you off. Most of the steps involve cooking something then taking it out of the pan to make room for cooking something else. This is a good recipe to prep as you go. For example, dice the chicken while the bacon is cooking and mince the onion and slice the mushrooms while the chicken is cooking. The full recipe is in the recipe card below. Do the leftovers reheat well? Yes, they do! While this pasta tastes the best when it's freshly made, it's still delicious eaten as leftovers. It will keep well for 3-4 days in a covered container in your fridge. That seems like a lot of garlic! Roasted garlic is
very different than raw or sauteed garlic. Its sweet mellow flavor works wonderfully in this recipe. What type of wine should I use? A dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc or pinot gris works best. You can easily scoop a big pile of this ridiculously delicious f
arfalle with chicken and roasted garlic onto a plate and call it dinner.
