Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb pasta ziti, penne or rigatoni
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • ¼ cup blue cheese dressing
  • 1 lb chicken breast cooked, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, drain and set aside.
  3. Add the butter to a large pot on the stove over medium heat.
  4. Once melted, add the garlic and saute for 30-60 seconds.
  5. Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese.
  6. Whisk until the cheeses have melted together, 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing.
  8. Stir to combine everything, then add in the shredded chicken and cooked pasta.
  9. Transfer the pasta to an oven-safe baking dish.
  10. Top with the mozzarella cheese, then place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  11. Remove and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dressing Substitution: If you're not a fan of blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing can be used in its place.
  • Chicken: This easy Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken recipe can be used to make cooked, shredded chicken to use in this recipe. You can also purchase a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred the meat off the bone for use in this recipe.
  • Vegetarian: To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the chicken and use a vegetarian parmesan style cheese. Veggies, such as diced zucchini, cauliflower or broccoli florets, can be added in place of the chicken, if desired.
