Step 1
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, stirring to coat, 2 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in cream and add cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until fully coated. Add pasta water 1/4 cup at a time if sauce feels too thick.
Step 5
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with blue cheese crumbles if desired.
