Spicy Garlic Hot Wing Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces dry linguine
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup frank's buffalo wing sauce (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method

  3. Gradually sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously to form a smooth roux.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, mixing well until it is fully combined.
  5. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, reserved pasta water and buffalo wing sauce until the mixture is uniform.
  6. Add the blue cheese crumbles and continue cooking until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
  7. Drain the cooked pasta and transfer it to the pan with the sauce, tossing to coat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
  8. Plate the pasta, finishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
  9. This version is vegetarian, though adding chicken or bacon would make a more substantial dish.
  10. Have an extra 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water available to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
