Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry rotini pasta

  • 1 cup chunky blue cheese dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pound frozen cooked chicken strips, defrosted and diced

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in rotini and return to a boil. Cook rotini uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
