  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz of your favorite pasta (penne or ziti work great)
  • 1 lb of steak, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup of buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup of honey for added sweetness
  • 1 cup of heavy cream or sour cream for creaminess
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and cooking your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, honey, and heavy cream or sour cream until well combined. This creates a luscious, spicy-sweet sauce that will flavor your pasta and steak perfectly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta and steak slices with the buffalo-honey sauce. Transfer everything into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. For an extra crispy topping, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creamy honey buffalo steak pasta bake.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken for steak for a quicker version.
  • Use your favorite pasta shape for variation.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking.
  • For a spicy kick, add extra buffalo sauce or red pepper flakes.
