A delightful twist on the classic buffalo chicken dish, combined with creamy pasta and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from browning too much.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, yogurt, buffalo sauce, and chicken.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle with blue cheese and bread crumbs.
Spread the mixture evenly in the dish for uniform baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
