Ingredients
- 7 Ounces pasta of your choice
- 2-3 Tablespoons butter
- 7 Ounces chicken boneless cut into strips
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
For the Sauce:
- ⅓ Cup cream table cream or half and half
- 5 Tablespoons cream cheese
- ¼ Cup hot sauce
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon oregano dried
- 2.5 Ounces shredded cheese *see Note
Instructions
- Keep a pot with salt water to boil and add your uncooked pasta to it. Cook your pasta al dente or soft and strain from the water.
- Heat up a skillet with the butter and place your chicken strips into the hot pan. Spread out the chicken pieces so that it cooks evenly.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Turn them to cook them on all sides. Make sure to not overcook the chicken and keep a medium to low heat. The chicken will cook some more in the oven later on.
- Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit/180 Celsius.
- In a baking dish, add the chicken strips to the cooked pasta together with the cream and cream cheese and hot sauce.
- Mix all well and taste the sauce to see if you want to add some more hot sauce.
- Continue to add in the garlic powder, oregano and one part of the grated cheese. Mix it all well.
- Spread the second batch of grated cheese over the pasta.
- Place your buffalo pasta bake into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit/180 Celsius.
- Serve still hot with a green salad and light dressing.

Notes
- You get to pick the cheese. I used mild cheddar. Make two batches, one to mix into the sauce and the second to sprinkle over the pasta before baking it. This will form a lovely cheese crust.
- You may add more hot sauce, be aware, however, that your pasta will turn more spicy hot.
