Buffalo Chicken Pasta Recipe (How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pasta)
Ingredients
2 cups pasta noodles I used cavatappi noodles, but penne is great
1 pound chicken breast chopped
1 tablespoon Cajun seasonings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
1 jalapeno pepper chopped (or use any spicy pepper you love!)
4 cloves garlic chopped
4 ounces cream cheese
5 ounces crumbled blue cheese divided
1 cup Buffalo sauce or more as desired
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
FOR SERVING: spicy chili flakes fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
Cooking Directions
Add 4 cups water + 2 teaspoon salt to a pot and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and boil for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your preference. Check the packaging for more specifics.
While the pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Season the chopped chicken with Cajun seasoning, then add it to the pan along with the onion and peppers. Cook them down 5-6 minutes, stirring, until the chicken cooks through.
Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
Add the cream cheese, 3 ounces blue cheese, Buffalo sauce, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheeses melt and everything is incorporated.
Drain the pasta and stir the noodles into the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining blue cheese, spicy chili flakes and fresh chopped herbs.
Serve it up!
Recipe Notes
Serves 6 (or 4 good sized bowls)
Heat Level: Medium-Hot. Much will depend on the Buffalo Sauce you’re using. I make a very spicy homemade sauce, but you can use milder. Most are pretty spicy.
