Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pasta Tips:

  • Change the Chicken – The recipe calls for chicken breasts but you can easily substitute chicken thighs. This is a great way to save money and reduce your grocery budget.
  • Change the Pasta – We used fettuccine noodles this time but it is delicious with any type of pasta. It is just as delicious with spaghetti noodles, penne and even elbow macaroni.
  • Top with Sour Cream – For extra creamy flavor, you can top the pasta with fat free sour cream.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup – We like to mix in a can of cream of chicken soup. This o adds so much flavor to the sauce.
  • Change the Cheese – We used sharp cheddar, but you can also use mozzarella cheese.

How to Store Leftovers:

Store your leftovers in the refrigerator in a air tight container. The leftovers will stay good for about 3 to 4 days. We really enjoy the leftovers with this creamy pasta. The sauce really marinates in the noodles to give it more flavor.

  1. Love the recipes How much chicken and type in the buffalo chicken pasta recipe?

  2. Question about Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Pasta:
    At end of recipe you put in the uncooked pasta BUT DO YOU COVER the crockpot or cook with it uncovered? Thanks

  3. 3 stars
    I made this recipe. I think 16 oz of pasta is to much. It took the creamy out of it and made it near impossible to re-heat. The pasta sucked up the cream and made it dry
