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.
