    This take on pasta has all the great things in Buffalo Chicken combines with the comfort food feeling of pasta.

     

    This was AMAZING. I love love LOVE spicy pasta. The cream cheese makes this super creamy and rich and I enjoyed every single bite. I seasoned the chicken to my liking with lots of yummy spices and the sauce was easy to make and very delicious.

    This is a great spicy pasta to help wake your taste buds

        Hi Shar, I just adjusted the recipe. Sorry about that. It’s 1/2 lb pasta only because I like it very saucy. If you want to use the entire box of pasta, I suggest doubling the sauce recipe 🙂
