Description
Cheese jalapeño pasta is a creamy and spicy dish that combines the rich flavors of melted cheese with the zesty kick of jalapeños. The pasta is tossed in a velvety cheese sauce, typically made with cheddar or mozzarella, creating a smooth, indulgent texture. The jalapeños add a touch of heat, balancing the creaminess with a bit of spice. This pasta can be customized with additional vegetables like bell peppers or corn, and is often garnished with more cheese and fresh herbs.
