Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

Notes
Cook pasta until just tender to hold the sauce. Sauté garlic briefly to avoid bitterness. Bring cream to a gentle simmer, not a hard boil. Tossing the pasta helps the sauce stick.
