One-Pot Creamy Buffalo Chicken Pasta
Who doesn’t love an easy and delicious meal with only one pan to wash?! This One-Pot Homemade Alfredo Rigatoni is a fantastic meal when I need something hearty and quick. I decided to spice things up this time and add a buffalo chicken twist. You know I love just about anything buffalo, so it was the natural choice! The added buffalo sauce, chicken and bleu cheese make for a fantastic addition.
I am off of work today for Spring Break. We get tomorrow off as a work holiday, but I decided to use some vacation time to make it a nice long four day weekend. I am pretty sure I need to take a little shopping trip one of these days this weekend, because it has been far too long. I don’t have anything particular I need, but sometimes you just need to get away for a nice relaxing day of shopping.
I’m pretty sure I could walk into Target and drop some serious cash with no specific goals. In fact, I am certain, because frankly I do it far too often! Why is it, that the wonderfully evil store has so many things that you just can’t seem to walk away without? Damn you Target and all your beautiful things, I can’t quit you!
On a bright note, this recipe for One-Pot Creamy Buffalo Chicken Pasta is so simple, you could pick up all the ingredients at your local Target, even if it does have a small grocery section like mine!

So yummy! I was looking for a recipe without cream cheese (because I had everything BUT that…) This was perfect and creamy. I don’t like blue cheese so I substituted for more parmesan! I also added some seasoning salt and black pepper.

Nice recipe! I made a couple changes based on what I had on hand. I was out of heavy cream and substituted whole milk instead. I also threw in a 1 TB of white vinegar in my milk to give it a buttermilk taste. I added half a packet of dry ranch seasoning mix to the chicken and onion mixture right before adding my liquid. I also added some cheddar and feta to the top of the finished pasta since I was out of blue cheese crumbles. Great recipe to work from, so easy. Thank you!
