It’s no surprise to anyone who has read my blog for a while now that I love buffalo sauce! You will find over 50 recipes with buffalo sauce on the blog!

Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

One of my favorite recipes from my cookbook “Buffalo Style” is the Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Lasagna. It combines two of my favorite foods of all time, buffalo chicken and lasagna.

I decided to take the idea behind the dish and create something similar with my new favorite trend, Stuffed Shells!

From Mediterranean Stuffed Shells to Mexican Stuffed Shells, I pretty much want to take all of my favorite foods and stuff them into shells these days!

The fact that stuffed shells usually involve meat, cheese and lots of sauce wouldn’t have anything to do with this new found stuffed shell obsession… I promise! 😉

Now it’s time to have a serious discussion. Are you one of those people that likes the crispy corner piece of lasagna? Or are you one of those people that like the very middle piece with no edges, no crispy noodles? (I’d be the second one!)

If you’re like me and prefer the “non-crispy-noodle” thing, go ahead and place a piece of foil over the dish for the last 10 minutes of cooking so that the noodles don’t get crispy on the top.

If you’re a “I like the corner piece of crispy lasagna noodles” kind of person, go ahead and leave it uncovered to get a little crispiness on top of the noodles!

Either way you cook it, this is one dish that you’ll be coming back for seconds.. and thirds.
