Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Pasta Copycat

Description

A creamy, savory pasta dish that tastes just like the famous wing sauce! Packed with garlic, butter, and parmesan cheese, this copycat recipe turns your favorite wing flavor into a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
  • 1 lb (450g) crispy chicken tenders (frozen or homemade)
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Cook the chicken tenders according to package directions or pan-fry seasoned chicken breasts until golden.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant (do not burn).
  3. Make Sauce: Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly until smooth.
  4. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add Cheese: Remove from heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper until melted and creamy.
  6. Combine: Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
  7. Serve: Top with sliced crispy chicken and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

Notes

Chicken Choice: Crispy breaded chicken mimics the boneless wing experience best, but grilled chicken works for a lighter option.

Roasted Garlic: For deeper flavor, stir in 1 tsp of roasted garlic paste into the finished sauce.

Heat: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little kick to balance the richness.
