Buffalo Chicken Pasta – a creamy stove top chicken pasta dinner that has all the flavor of Buffalo Chicken Wings! It is loaded with ranch dressing, two kinds of cheese, and plenty of buffalo sauce!
My family loves buffalo sauce. We always have the big size jar in the fridge at all times, and usually one in the pantry for back up. My son loves to mix it with a tiny bit of ranch as a dipper for chicken tenders, put on his mac and cheese, or even put on eggs. So when I was trying to come up with a dinner I knew he would enjoy, turning his favorite into a creamy buffalo chicken pasta seemed like a great idea!
