Buffalo Chicken Pasta Recipes

The calories are WAY OVER with what I had to work with on the Spark People ingredients. The ingredients are not what I use, I use whole wheat pasta, low fat creame cheese, I make my own ranch dressing, low fat mozzarella but I could not find the measurements I needed.

What to do with leftover Buffalo Chicken?

Easy peasy.

A nice zingy twist to pasta salad.

Self-explanatory

If you like buffalo wings, you'll love this pasta dish. You can play with the wing sauce/ ranch dressing ratio to get the heat you want.

Variation on Eating Well Recipe. We took the classic flavors of Buffalo wings—hot sauce, blue cheese, carrots and celery—and created a finger-licking-good casserole. Serve this dish during football season to a hungry crowd and it’s sure to be a hit. We don’t typically recommend ingredients by brand name, but in this case we make an exception for Frank’s RedHot Sauce. It has the perfect balance of spice and tang for this casserole. Texas Pete and Crystal hot sauces are suitable alternatives if you can’t find Frank’s.

Boil salted water and cook 16 oz penne pasta for about 11 minutes. During the last minute add block of frozen spinach. Drain. Add softened cream cheese and blend, then add chicken. Sprinkle 1/2 package of powdered Blue Cheese Dip Mix on the pasta mixture. Set aside. Saute diced celery and onion (It should be about 1 1/2 cups) in 1 T olive oil. Add to pasta mixture and use Chicken Wing Sauce to taste. I used 2 TBSP. Mix rermaining Blue Cheese mix with 1/2 1% milk and pour over mixture in casserole dish. Top with shredded cheese.
Set oven to 350 and bake covered for about 30 min. Uncover and allow cheese to brown somewhat.
