Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Recipe – chicken and spaghetti tossed in a cream cheese, buffalo, cheddar and Ranch sauce – OMG! SO good. I wanted to lick the plate!
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 ½ 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.

Has anyone made this in advance and served later?
Looking to make this ahead of time and reheat for dinner a couple nights later. Anyone reheated it?
I was able to send a message to Pinterest…we will see how it goes 🙂
How much cheddar?
Can you clarify what shape of the chedar cheese to use?
Andrea – YAY! I'm so happy to hear you are loving all the recipes!
Making this again tonight, it's about my 4th or 5th time and I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the recipe! My family loves it. Your blog is the one I come to every time for great recipes, we've yet to have a failure from anything you've posted 🙂
Made this for the second time tonight–it's awesome!! Pretty much everything I cook is from your site! 🙂
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!!!! 🙂
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.
