Buffalo Turkey Pasta

"Fave-O-rite!!!! DH and I love this and make it often. I usually use penne or fusilli pasta. I think any hot sauce will do, but cayenne (like Lousiana Hot Sauce) will give it the authentic Buffalo flavor."

  How to Make
 
 

Step 1

Start a pot of water boiling for the pasta.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the onion, celery, carrots and garlic until soft.

Step 3

Once water is boiling, drop in the pasta. Cook according to directions on package. Drain.

Step 4

Continue with the sauce by sprinkling the flour over the vegetables and stirring to mix. Gradually add the milk and simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese and stir until melted, then add the hot sauce and turkey and heat through.

Step 6

Serve over the cooked pasta. (I usually mix together so I can package for lunches.) YUM!

It was so delicious! I loved the flavors in the sauce and I am adding it to my regular rotation to have often. I used linguine this time but I may make it using penne and bake it with some added cheese for a casserole. Just loved this GK... Thank you for sharing it with us! Linda

Wow. I'm glad I selected this recipe from the Billboard Tag Game. It was delicious. I'd say it was a comfort food right up there with mac and cheese! I did substitute chicken for the turkey and instead of cream cheese, I used Neufchatel. I had never cooked with that before, but at 1/3 less fat, it couldn't hurt to try it, right? I definitely agree that it's best to mix the pasta with the sauce, especially if you use a pasta shape that holds some of the creamy sauce... :)
