This pasta dish has all the flavors of Buffalo chicken wings, and you don’t have to get your fingers full of hot sauce. It’s made on the stovetop and is finger-licking good!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rigatoni pasta
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon dry ranch salad dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
- ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Season chicken with ranch dressing mix, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine Neufchatel cheese, sour cream, and Buffalo wing sauce in a large saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese and stir well until melted. Add pasta and chicken and continue cooking until well incorporated and heated through.
Cook’s Notes:
Any pasta will work in this dish.

This was good, added some onions, threw it in a casserole dish, cooked it for an extra 5 minutes with some cheese and an added decoration of hot sauce
Would recommend using a hotter sauce or more of it for my fellow masochists.

My kids loved this. Taste just like you?re eating the dip but with pasta. I added a whole pound of cooked rigatoni and it was good. Next time I may add some cream/milk to make it more creamy as it was a little think.
-
Great recipe! Delicious, kids loved it too!

I made this tonight and with the exception of a couple of changes due to what I had on hand and personal preference. I guess I am not much of a masochist because the amount of hot wing sauce was enough. I did add roughly 1/2 cup of milk to thin the sauce a bit. I also used half cheddar and half swiss. I baked it in the oven with a little cheese on top at 375? for 20 mins. Delicious!

It was creamy and had good flavor. It was a little rich for me. But, my husband loved it. If I made it next time, we thought it would be better with a smaller pasta shape–maybe elbows?

My husband loves hot sauce so he thought this was fantastic! Super easy and most ingredients I had on hand. This is saved to make again!!
-
This is a great recipe! I tend to add more hot sauce and less sour cream!
