CREAMY BACON BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA

Creamy Bacon Buffalo Chicken Pasta image

Totally made up this recipe because I had chicken breasts, bacon and Atkins penne pasta. I love spicy food and I have tried other buffalo chicken pasta recipes, but this one is the best (if I do say so myself). You can use regular pasta and different cheeses if you wish. You may be able to find some shortcuts since this is a long recipe, but I promise you will be happy if you follow it exactly :)

Cook bacon in microwave for 6 minutes. I use a plate, cover with paper towel, lay bacon on paper towel, then cover with another paper towel. Once cool, crumble into pieces.
In a large pot, boil water, add pasta and cook according to directions. Drain in a collander and set aside.
In same pot, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook until light brown.

Tips:

Choose the right pasta. For this recipe, a short pasta like penne or shells is best. These types of pasta can hold the creamy buffalo sauce well.

Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it is added to the sauce.

Make sure the chicken is cooked through. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.

Use a good quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key ingredient in this recipe, so it is important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of heat and flavor.

Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level. If you like your food spicy, you can add more buffalo sauce to the recipe. If you prefer a milder dish, you can use less sauce or omit it altogether.

Serve the pasta with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for buffalo chicken pasta include blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, and celery.

Conclusion:

Creamy buffalo chicken pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy, spicy sauce and tender chicken, this pasta is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try.
