Recipe Summary Buffalo Chicken Pasta With Blue Cheese

My own dish. This a wonderful take on Buffalo chicken and blue cheese dipping sauce. Enjoy.

Ingredients | Broccoli And Blue Cheese Pasta

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks

6 ounces hot sauce

½ stick butter, melted

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (10 ounce) package sliced baby bella mushrooms

1 medium Spanish onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped

1 pound penne pasta

1 cup ricotta cheese

½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

½ cup grated Cheddar cheese

½ cup chopped fresh parsley

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Combine chicken, hot sauce, and melted butter in a bowl and marinate for 2 hours.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the pan until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in balsamic. Set aside.

Heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in Buffalo sauce marinade and chicken; saute until no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to shock so they stay nice and green.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain; reserving 1 ladleful of pasta water. Stir Buffalo chicken mixture, asparagus, and reserved pasta water into pasta. Add ricotta cheese, Gorgonzola cheese, and Cheddar cheese.

Heat pasta mixture over low heat until all cheese is melted and looks like a cream sauce, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in parsley, salt, and pepper and serve.

You can use heavy cream instead of ricotta cheese. You can use 10 ounces of green beans, cooked al dente, instead of asparagus.

I like to use balsamic glaze instead of vinegar.
