Tips & Serving Ideas
- Spice level: Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce or chili flakes to suit your heat preference. For extra spice, use hot Buffalo sauce or add diced jalapeños.
- Protein variation: Swap the chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey for convenience.
- Pasta choices: Rotini holds sauce well, but you can also use penne, rigatoni, or shells for a similar effect.
- Make it a bake: After cooking, transfer the pasta to a baking dish, top with more cheese, and broil for 3–5 minutes for a golden crust.
Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce.
- Freezing: This pasta can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
