Preparation

Step 1

To cook shredded buffalo chicken, put frozen chicken in slow cooker and pour in the buffalo wing sauce. Sprinkle ranch dip mix on top and add butter. Cook on low for 9 hours. Use a spaghetti spoon or fork to shred the chicken—it should fall apart with very little effort.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook rigatoni pasta according to package directions.

Lightly coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix shredded buffalo chicken, ricotta, ranch dressing, and rigatoni, and pour into casserole dish. Top with smoked fontina.

Place in oven and set timer for 25 mins.

After 25 mins, broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is slightly browned.

Serve.
