We eat a LOT of chicken in our home, and we love pasta! Alfredo is a regular in our meal rotation, but this spin on it is slowly becoming my favorite!
*Note- The buffalo sauce is a little too warm for a few little mouths around here– so I reserve some Tortellini, chicken, and Alfredo sauce for them to enjoy the meal sans buffalo sauce!
Buffalo Chicken Tortellini
