It’s hard to beat a creamy, cheesy casserole on a cold night. Apparently the rest of the world agrees since this collection of casserole recipes I compiled has gone completely viral with over 7 million of you already checking it out and loving it!
Today I am so thrilled to share this pasta bake with you. Not only is is crazy delicious, but it is from the new cookbook by my friend Trish Rosenquist (of Mom on Timeout) called 100 Creative Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken in Everyday Meals. You all need this book – trust me!
This book is loaded with delicious recipes that will please even the pickiest eaters, and the recipes are all pretty simple to make! If you ever cook dinner – this book is for you! I mean just look at this casserole….
You can use as much or as little wing sauce as you like, depending on how hot you like things. I only added a little to the whole pan because my kids don’t like much spice, but then I added extra to my own plate. The combination of alfredo and wing sauce is soooooo good you guys! This is one of those comforting, cheesy casseroles that you will make over and over again. Enjoy!

Fixed this tonight for my family & it was a hit!! So delicious!
Samantha says
This dinner was so delicious. I added a bit more buffalo sauce and mixed everything together before putting in to bake. Easy weeknight dinner I would make again
April says
Do I have to cook the chicken first? I don’t know where to get that kind of chicken
Stephanie Brubaker says
Any kind of cooked chicken will work just fine 🙂
Lesley says
Just made this recipe, love it. Added the whole rotesria chicken, salt, pepper, jalapeno 2 pickled diced thin. Everything else the same as cooking instruction. Perfect. Shared with a ton of biker friends the bomb…
Pam says
Where can I purchase Alfredo sauce?
Melanie says
So yummy! We substitute alfredo with a carbonara sauce or a garlic Parmesan. Since my husband doesn’t like alfredo.
Chris says
How would this be to make ahead of time and freeze?
Autumn says
Would it work if i made my own sauce?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Yes! Hope you enjoy it, Autumn 🙂

What about elbow pasta do you think that would work well or must you use small shells?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Any smaller pasta will work great. Enjoy!
Molly says
Had everything on hand except the buffalo sauce – so I whipped up some myself with a recipe online. Sitting in the oven right now. I’m adding bread crumbs and green onions, and my roommate and I are super excited. I’m also excited for the leftovers. Thanks for a great way to use the chicken I cooked and needed to use!
Kelly says
Silly question; do you cook the pasta first?! Looks amazing
Stephanie Brubaker says
Bit silly! Yep, cook the pasta first. Enjoy!
Bobbi DeLong says
This was really good! The only modifications I made were that I diced two Roma tomatoes and two Tbs of sweet onion into the pasta mixture. My gf hubby enjoyed this casserole with gf rotini.
Jeanine says
I made this tonight with Chef in Training Perfect Homemade Alfredo Sauce and it was amazing!
Candace says
Saw the recipe, bought the ingredients, and made it all in the same day. DELISH!!!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Michelle says
Making this tonight. Cannot wait!
Ruby says
The dish was a little drier than we like so I heated up additional Alfredo sauce mixed with Frank’s RedHot Sauce to serve on top. I also sprinkled blue cheese crumbles on mine for an extra punch of flavor. Would make this again, maybe adding chopped celery for texture along with the extra sauce mixture. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Alison Kinsey says
Yay! Thank you for this recipe. My fiance and I are trying it tonight as our Valentine’s Day Dinner!
Kris says
Hi! What brand of alfredo sauce do you normally use? This looks amazing!
Stephanie Brubaker says
I’m not too picky when it’s getting mixed into a casserole like this. I used Ragu for this, I believe. It really is good, I hope you enjoy it!
Sarah Walker Caron (Sarah's Cucina Bella) says
This combination sounds delicious and amazing. I love the flavor of buffalo sauce mixed with creamy sauces.

Rotisserie chickens are a total lifesaver when it comes to easy dinners. This recipe puts it to good use!
Michelle | A Dish of Daily Life says
I love buffalo chicken ANYTHING! There is a restaurant in our downtown that makes a buffalo chicken mac and cheese that is amazing and I’ve been thinking I need to try to duplicate it because I love it so much! But this will probably do it for me too! It looks so delicious…perfect comfort food!

Jamielyn@iheartnaptime says
This looks incredible! Can’t wait to try it. Putting it on my menu!
Crystal Rose says
Is that supposed to be “15 oz alfredo sauce?” It says “15 jars” right now.
Stephanie Brubaker says
Oh my goodness. 15 jars would be a bit much, ha! Yes, one 15 oz jar is the correct amount. I updated the recipe 🙂
Nikki says
Which Alfredo sauce do you like best?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Honestly, it doesn’t matter much for this recipe. I have tried several different brands and i always tastes great! Enjoy!
Annie says
Do you cook the pasta before you put it in oven
Stephanie Brubaker says
Yes, cook the pasta first. Enjoy Annie!
Toni says
I used Bartoli and it came out fantastic! I find Bartoli to be a little thicker and holds up better when baking and doesn’t “dilute” like other thinner brands.
Gayle says
I see 15 ounces.
Medeja says
Mmm..looks creamy and delicious!
