Easy And Healthy Buffalo Chicken Wings Lasagna

Buffalo Chicken Wings Lasagna takes all the flavors you love from buffalo chicken wings and turns it into an amazingly delicious lasagna.

In this recipe we take all the flavors of buffalo chicken wings and turn them into delicious lasagna, this flavor edife. We use ground chicken to get the best texture. What are hot wings without a little celery? So we add celery to the mix as well. We savored the meat mix with Frank Buffalo hot sauce. Lasagna is placed with pasta, meat sauce, mozzarella and classic bechamel. The crumbled blue cheese is added at the top to finish it. You don't want to use a lot of blue cheese because it can easily overcome all the lasagna. If you don't like blue cheese, you can just leave it out.

Lasagna Pasta Shortcut – Can I use no boil lasagna?

I've done the best trick for your lasagna paste included as part of the recipe. Boiling lasagna paste doesn't work, but it often ends up a little strange texture and absorbs a lot of liquid in the recipe so while not the boiling lasagna leaves work, I don't recommend it. Instead, I use regular lasagna paste and still don't boil them. All you have to do is put it in a bowl and pour hot water over them. Leave them soaked for 30 minutes and they'll be tender enough to be used in the recipe. Don't worry, they'll finish cooking in the oven. This allows you to get the rest of your ingredients ready to assemble your lasagna, without having to pay attention to it.

Pro tip: Move after the first 5 minutes to help prevent pasta leaves from sticking. A simple swee and a whirlwind in the pan should do it.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 pounds ground chicken
• 1 white onion diced
• 3 stalks celery sliced
• 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup Buffalo Hot Wing Sauce
• 1/3 cup salted butter
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound lasagna pasta sheets
• 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
• 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbled

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground chicken, onion, and celery and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Stir in buffalo hot sauce, diced tomatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and reduce to medium low. Let simmer until ready to assemble lasagna.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour thoroughly to form a paste. Increase heat to medium high. Whisk in the milk. Continue whisking and bring to a simmer. As the mixture gets hotter, it will thicken. Once thick, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place a couple spoonfuls of the bechamel sauce onto the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• To assemble, spread about 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with 1/3 of the white sauce. Top with 1/4 of mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella. Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup of meat sauce to cover the pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with blue cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.
