We love
Buffalo Chicken wings at our home... I mean who doesn't. But those wings can be
really messy, both to fix and to eat. When I came across this recipe, I thought
what a great recipe to try.
Start with
one pound of fully cooked pasta. Okay, I used Halloween pasta with black bats,
so don't be scared of the black pasta.
While that is
cooking, melt 2 T. of butter and 2 T. of flour. Whisk the butter and flour for
several minutes to cook off the flour taste. Let the mixture slightly brown.
Add 1 1/2 c. of milk, very slowly and turn the heat to very low. Once the milk
starts to thicken, add in the grated Monterrey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese
until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in
buffalo wing sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the
pasta is fully cooked, al dente, pour the pasta into a greased baking dish. Add
chicken and sauce. Stir mix it thoroughly.
Top with
additional grated cheddar cheese and panko bread crumbs. Have you tried panko
bread crumbs... oh they are delicious.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25
minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Top with
green onions, cilantro and drizzle with a little buffalo wing sauce.
Delicious.
