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’s super quick and easy to put together. No special skills required – anyone can make 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!

    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

    So yummy! We substitute alfredo with a carbonara sauce or a garlic Parmesan. Since my husband doesn’t like alfredo.

    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!

    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.

    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!

      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!

    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!

    Is that supposed to be “15 oz alfredo sauce?” It says “15 jars” right now.

          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.
