    An incredible buffalo chicken pasta recipe - perfect for the games! Also is perfect anytime of the year!

    I cannot believe the big game is almost here in a week, give or take a few days! Have you started to plan out your menu if you are hosting a party?

    We were invited to one and I always bring things with me because I love to cook; however, I am still trying to figure out what I want to bring. I have been thinking about these healthy buffalo cauliflower bites because they are really popular. Not only are they delicious, but they are a little bit healthier.

    We all know everyone is trying to eat healthier in January. With the game in February, I am pretty sure we can make a couple of exceptions for a delicious pasta recipe. This buffalo chicken pasta recipe would be fantastic to make because it feeds a lot and it contains the game day sauce - buffalo.

     

    Whenever I think of the big game or even just regular games, buffalo foods always come to my mind. It wouldn't be football without buffalo wings, buffalo pasta, or buffalo anything! What do you think?

    I will have to tell you, this buffalo chicken pasta is incredibly easy to make! You will need to already have your chicken breasts cooked - I like to cook them on high in the slow cooker for 4 hours. It makes it really easy to shred. You can also bake the chicken for 45 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees.

     

    Once the chicken is cooked, you can make the sauce and the pasta. The sauce is almost identical to making a buffalo dip.

      This may be a silly question, but do you serve this hot or cold? It looks delicious!

        Great question, Tiana! You would serve this dish hot.

      This picture is very misleading. I cool a lot and love to cook. The picture doesn't show any chicken AND in the picture it shows the sauce has red pepper flakes but doesn't in the recipe. The picture looks very good but the actual pasta looks too orange. It also tastes terrible. I was able to tolerate it enough to eat it but my husband wouldn't. I paid $20 (give or take) to make this recipe and had to throw all of it away! Very disappointed!

        Hi Kate. The recipe calls for shredded chicken, which is mixed into the pasta. I garnished with red pepper flakes for the photos, but I have added them to the recipe.

        I am so sorry you didn't enjoy it. Everyone seems to love it!

      I feel like the picture is a different pasta. I'm making it right now and it's easy too orange to match the picture.

      You know what? I take it back. My husband loves this! So if the pasta was bright blue and he loved it, it wouldn't matter! Thank you!

      I added shredded cheese to the top instead of red pepper flakes and I also served the shredded chciken in the sauce on the side so I could eat mine over spaghetti squash and save some calories. My family loved it and has been added to our monthly recipe go to idea bin! Thank you!

      My family loved this so much, I am making it a second time. I went easy on the Frank's sauce and added extra to mine on my plate. I garnished with blue cheese crumbles and green onion. I'll try to snap a photo this time. Thanks!
