Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake image

Sure, 10-cent wing night at your local pub is a blast, but a night at home with a clever casserole can't be beat. Not fond of blue cheese? Use ranch salad dressing on this buffalo chicken pasta bake instead. -Lindsay Sprunk, Noblesville, Indiana

This pasta bake was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was too thin and the chicken was overcooked.

This pasta bake was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less buffalo sauce next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta bake turned out dry and bland. I think I might have used too much buffalo sauce.
