How to make buffalo chicken pasta with Multo™ by CookingPal®?
1. Cook sauce.
Place ingredients for the sauce in the bowl, and thanks to the heating elements included at the bottom of your Multo™ you can slowly simmer the sauce until flavors begin to mix.
2. Steam the chicken with the steamer.
Multo™ comes with a deep steaming tray perfect for steaming protein. Use this attachment to steam the chicken for this dish.
3. Cook pasta.
Thanks to its all-in-one design, Multo™ can easily cook the pasta while also continuing to steam the chicken. The steaming basket is a great accessory to use for this step as it prevents the pasta from getting cut by the blade.
4. Mix and enjoy!
Fully incorporate and mix all ingredients together for a casserole dish full of great flavors!
Cooking tips and tricks
Pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken can be used in place of the chicken tenders. Simply add the pre-cooked chicken to the bowl and allow the bottom heating elements to warm the chicken while the other ingredients cook.
For a richer cheese sauce, substitute mascarpone cheese for the cream cheese. Mascarpone is just as soft as cream cheese but has a smoother texture, making the sauce for this dish just as delicious but with a creamier consistency.
What are the variations of the cookies?
Most pasta shapes work nicely in this recipe, so feel free to change from the called for penne shape to small shells, fusilli, cellentani, ziti, or rotini. The only thing to keep in mind is shaped pasta has more texture and spaces for the sauce and cheese to stick to.
Blue cheese is called for as a topping for this dish, but bacon bits or diced tomatoes would also work and would bring smoky, salty flavors or sweet, juicy notes to the casserole. Ranch dressing could also be drizzled on top.
