Lightened-up Buffalo chicken pasta with creamy sauce, blue cheese, and tangy wing sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 ounce crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
Instructions:
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook rigatoni until al dente, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and serve.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, blend milk, blue cheese, and cream cheese until cheeses melt, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  • After draining the pasta, save 1/4 cup of cooking liquid and add it to the sauce. Stir in Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until well combined. Then, incorporate the pasta and chicken and heat until the chicken is warmed through for 2 to 3 minutes.
