- 10 ounces penne pasta
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Cooking
- Preheat oven to 375oF and spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse in hot water to prevent sticking.
- Stir together the cream cheese, ranch dressing and buffalo sauce until creamy.
- Add the chicken, ½ cup mozzarella cheese and cooked pasta to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine. Spoon into the prepared dish.
- Combine the remaining two cheeses and sprinkle over the top of the pasta.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until cheese on top is melted.
- Serve immediately with sliced green onions, hot sauce and ranch drizzles if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Leftover rotisserie or canned chicken both work great to shorten prep time for this meal. Use a little more buffalo sauce than it calls for to make it a bit spicier. The pasta bake and the sliders will both freeze well so make an extra to have another time!
