- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/3 c. hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
- 1/4 c. crumbled blue cheese, plus more for garnish
- kosher salt
- 1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs
- 1 celery stalk, chopped

- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and blue cheese. Whisk until butter and cheese are melted and fully incorporated, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, celery, onion, garlic, egg, and parsley. Add chicken and half the hot sauce mixture, blending until just combined. (Don't over mix.)
- Coat a large cast-iron skillet in olive oil. Form 1" meatballs and place on the prepared skillet. Bake until lightly golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in generously salted water according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta water.
- In the same cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add cooked penne to the meatballs and reserved hot sauce mixture. Add pasta water until pasta reaches desired consistency. Top with crumbled blue cheese and scallions and serve.
