Instructions

Start by boiling your fettuccine in salted water according to the package instructions. Once cooked al dente, drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta cooking water for later.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Then, stir in the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, cooking for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Next, incorporate the buffalo sauce, stirring to ensure the chicken is well-coated and infused with flavor.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, along with the salt and black pepper. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 5 minutes, creating a luscious creamy consistency.
Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it all until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy buffalo chicken sauce.
To finish, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley and drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce on top if desired. Enjoy your creamy, spicy pasta delight!

Notes

Ingredient substitutions can be easily made if needed. For instance, if you’re looking for a lighter version, you could swap the heavy cream for a half-and-half blend or Greek yogurt. Whole wheat fettuccine can offer a healthier starch option, and adjusting the buffalo sauce allows you to control the heat level according to your taste.
