Description

Delicious jumbo pasta shells stuffed with a spicy and creamy buffalo chicken mixture, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 12 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  4. Fold in ranch dressing to balance the heat of the buffalo sauce.
  5. Gently fill each cooked jumbo shell with the creamy buffalo chicken mixture.
  6. Arrange the stuffed shells in a greased baking dish without overcrowding.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with extra shredded cheese or chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the pasta shells; they should be al dente since they will cook more while baking. Adjust buffalo sauce quantity based on spice preference.
