Instructions:
Prepare the pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water until rapidly bubbling. Cook the fettuccine until al dente, around 8 minutes. Drain the pasta.
Prepare the sauce by heating oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms, zucchini, squash, and onions until heated through but still firm, about 5 minutes. Add cream and cooked fettuccine, then simmer for 4 minutes. Stir in jalapeño, mustard, Cajun seasoning, and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Finally, fold in Parmesan cheese and tomatoes, and let simmer on low heat to keep warm.
Prepare the rattlesnake: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Coat the rattlesnake meat in flour and fry in the hot oil until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Serve over pasta.
