A delicious fusion of spicy buffalo chicken and creamy Alfredo pasta, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Fettuccine or Penne pasta
  • 2 Chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
  2. In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Toss in bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken (or shred pre-cooked chicken) to the skillet along with the buffalo sauce. Mix well and cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  4. Carefully pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble lightly for about two minutes.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. If the sauce is too thick, incorporate some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, mixing until everything is melted and creamy. Taste and adjust with more buffalo sauce if necessary!
  7. Dish out the creamy, spicy pasta and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter dish, consider using whole wheat pasta or Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
