With football season around the corner, this Buffalo Chicken Pasta will make the perfect game day dinner! I’m honored to be a PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Ambassador this year, sharing delicious recipes including this game day pasta.

Game day is usually accompanied with lots of good food. The moment I think of game day, I think of chips and dips. You know, I’m talking about the warm buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips!

Today, instead of the typical game day food, we’re shaking it up and making a filling meal with your favorite game day flavors.

The heat from the Frank’s Hot Sauce is kept under control with the creamy PHILADELPHIA cream cheese. It’s the perfect pasta dish to satisfy the spicy lovers, but not scare away the anti-spicy folks.

I’m not the biggest fan of spicy food, but I couldn’t get enough of this pasta! The flavor is perfectly light and spicy. Then, you get bursts of tomatoes, green onions and blue cheese.

Perfect game day dinner!
