This might be my new favorite pasta dish. It combined two of my favorite dishes - buffalo chicken dip and pasta. I used a rotiserrie chicken and it came together in no time. The hardest part of this recipe is boiling the pasta.
We absolutely loved the flavors in this dish. This does have a nice kick to it. Feel free to adjust the hot sauce to your desired level of heat. I like spicy food, so I went for the full 1/2 cup. We topped the pasta with some green onions for color and a little crunch. Give this a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.
I entered this recipe into Mr. Food's Search for the Ultimate Weeknight Meal contest.

Sorry - I have never heard of "Frank's Hot Sauce". Can you help me out?
Love all your recipes and I would weigh 500lbs if I lived with you!!!Great uncomplicated recipes!
Another one I'll be Pinning and making very soon!

How many People will this serve (salad and garlic bread and dessert will be served -- young adults)??
This would easily serve 6-8 people. I would say 8 with salad and bread and dessert.
Gail - Frank's hot sauce is a thicker type of hot sauce used on buffalo chicken wings. It will be near the ketchup and regular hot sauce at the grocery store.
Just amde this for dinner tonite. Super easy. I used Louisiana Wing Sauce instead of Franks and topped it with crumbled blue cheese!! YUM...might add more chicken next time...Thanks Steph
Hi Steph,
Wondering if bleu cheese dressing would work as a substitute for Ranch? (I don't like Ranch dressing.)
Rhoynwynn - you can absolutely sub bleu cheese dressing for the Ranch dressing
I'm in the same boat as Rhoynwynn.. I don't like ranch, but I also don't like bleu cheese! Any other suggestions?? Maybe dry ranch packet? I do like that! lol
Ashley - you can use some dry Ranch and sour cream or Greek yogurt
Thanks!
I made this last night and it was wonderful! I was a little afraid of the hot sauce, so I used sparingly, and it was just the right amount. It was also great as leftovers tonight, I threw in a chopped up tomato to give the leftovers a little more liquid.
I ran across this recipe last week and thought it was really interesting and put it on my "to make" list. Well I made it tonight and.... *O*M*G* it's delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!!! :)
