Notes
This recipe is adapted from WhitneyBond.com. While I love blue cheese dressing with my buffalo wings, no one else in my family does. So, I subbed the blue cheese for ranch and added some extra cheddar cheese, because you know…cheese. It comes together in a matter of about 15 minutes. I put the water on to boil for the pasta first, so by the time I was cooking the rest of the ingredients the water was boiling and I could cook the pasta.
If you like buffalo wings without the mess, you will love this easy recipe!
