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."

Step by Step Method
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!
