recipe: buffalo chicken pasta

i found this site, How Sweet Eats, through foodgawker.com and loved the idea of the Buffalo Chicken Pasta. it seemed like it could be way-delicious like a spicy mac & cheese, or just weird like pasta with hot sauce... luckily it turned out a bit more like the first. i'm including the ingredients list as i -wish- i had made it which was a serving size of 2-3 people with the SAME amount of sauce from the original recipe which serves 4-6 (it was still really good, just not as super creamy as i'd have liked it).

ingredients list:
- 1/2 lb pasta
- 1.5 cups of shredded/chopped chicken breast (i actually used leftover xmas turkey which worked just as well)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 4 oz monte jack cheese, grated + more for topping
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated + more for topping
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions


to make: preheat oven to 375 degrees. prepare pasta according to norm directions. while the pasta cooking, heat a medium saucepan to medium heat. add the butter, and once it's melted completely, add the flour. whisk together to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until mixture is golden. add milk, stir, and turn down to low heat, continuing to stir until the milk thickens. add in the buffalo wing sauce and cheeses and continue stirring until mixture is smooth. season to taste with salt & pepper.


grease a 8" x 11" baking dish. add pasta, chicken, and cheese sauce and mix until everything is well combined. sprinkle with the extra grated cheese and panko. bake for 25 mins or until cheese is bubbly & golden. sprinkle with green onions and a few extra drizzles of buffalo wing sauce, and serve.

verdict... good! flavor was great (the green onion is key... had a nice zing to it), though it was not as creamy as i would have liked by making 1/2 the sauce recipe, that's just personal preference b/c the dish and the flavors were still v yum. the original recipe calls for a sprinkling of gorgonzola over top before serving... i wish i had that b/c it would be so perfect with it. popping it a 7*******.
