Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked penne
2 cups cooked/rotisserie chicken
1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Sauce
1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles optional
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning
2 cups shredded mozzarella
Chopped scallions optional, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
Boil a salted pot of water and cook the pasta for one minute less than package directions indicate.
Drain the pasta and add it to a 9x13 casserole dish. Add in the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, Frank's Red Hot, blue cheese, and ranch seasoning. Toss until evenly coated, then spread it in an even layer.
Top with the mozzarella, then bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Broil it for a few minutes at the end to brown the cheese if desired (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn). Top with chopped scallions if desired and serve hot.

Notes

This recipe does have some kick. You could reduce the hot sauce a bit if you're sensitive to spice, but it does add moisture to the dish as well at the signature hot wings flavor.
