directions
- Cook the pasta according to directions.
- While pasta is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, and once it’s melted and bubbly add the flour. Whisk together to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until mixture gets a bit golden in color.
- Add milk. Continue stirring until milk thickens.
- Add in grated cheeses and continue to stir until mixture is smooth. Stir in buffalo wing sauce.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Add pasta and chicken, then pour cheese sauce over and mix thoroughly until everything is coated.
- Sprinkle with additional grated cheese and bread crumbs.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately top with desired garnish (I put tomatoes on mine, husband puts buffalo sauce on his).

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
