I want to make love to this dish. Sweet, sweet love. It’s that good. Trust me, you need to try it.
You don’t have to make love to it, though. That could get weird.
I feel really bad for my duplex neighbors. Their baby won’t stop crying. All day, all night. It just cries. The worst part is the only part of our house that is attached to theirs in my room. Lovely. Thankfully I just LOVE children. Lies. That was a lie.
I hate when you order something online and it can’t seem to get to your house fast enough. So you look out your window every time you hear a truck drive by because you think it’s the delivery truck. And open your door at least 5 times just hoping they secretly dropped off the package without you hearing. I do all of those things. I refuse to believe the tracking number which tells me it won’t arrive for another two days, I just am too optimistic for that bull.
So I recently talked about how I have a hard time drinking lately. And how it puts me in a weird spot when I want to hang out with my friends but all of them are out drinking. Well, I’m still feeling that way. So I’ve been spending more time at home on weekends. Which you’d think would be saving me money, but then I end up buying things to fill my time with. Like last Saturday. All my friends were going out and told me to meet them, but what did I do? I went and bought myself a new down comforter and duvet set. Do you know how expensive that sh*t is? Well, I didn’t. I haven’t gotten a new comforter since I was a freshmen in college. I don’t want to age myself, but that was 7 years ago. Anywho, it’s stupid expensive. I spent $300 and I bought on sale! Sales are straight up bullish*t. It’s just a ploy for you to feel like you’re saving money so you’ll actually buy it. And buy more. And I fell for it.
And after spending at least 3 hours rearranging my room, an hour of which was dedicated to putting my comforter into the duvet, I quickly regretted not going out. I don’t understand comforters. How the hell are they suppose to stay in place in the duvet? I used safety pins but I don’t believe that will do the trick. I was literally hopping on my bed holding the duvet in the air hoping the comforter would just fall into place. Doing stuff on your own is hard sometimes.
Now go make love to this food. Make love to it. Just do it. Don’t get a new duvet cover. Don’t do it.
Buffalo Chicken Pasta
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons fat (I used duck fat)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, finely chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (I used Tessamae’s mild or hot wing sauce)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- chopped green onions, to garnish
- sprinkle of red pepper flakes
For the mayo (this will render about 2/3 cup mayo)
- ⅔ cup avocado oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees
- Place spaghetti squash open side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until skin of squash is slightly soft and the threads of the squash easily come out with a fork
- While spaghetti squash is cooling, place a large pan over medium heat. Once pan is very hot, add fat and chicken to brown with a bit of salt and pepper. Once chicken has browned and no longer pink, remove from pan and place in a bowl
- In that same pan, still over medium heat, add garlic, onion, carrot and celery to the pan to cook. Sprinkle with a bit more salt. Once onion has become translucent, remove from heat.
- Now make the quick mayo. Add all mayo ingredients to a tall container, place an immersion blender to the bottom and turn on. Once the mixture begins to become thicker, slowly pull the immersion blender up the container to make sure mixture mixes completely.
- Now finish the dish off by adding the spaghetti squash threads to the pan, along with chicken, mayo, and hot sauce to the pan. Mix together and sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper. Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes..

Sooo sooo good!! Made this last night for friends, they loved it…didn’t even realize it was squash!
I think I might have made love to this recipe! It was THAT good 🙂 I made your bacon and chive sweet potato biscuits last week and thought they were pretty tasty, so today I made your cashew cheese, artichoke pesto lemon “pasta”, and this recipe. They were all tasty, but this one just blew me away! Thanks for making paleo so, so, so delicious!
I’ve made many of your recipes that have all been amazing, but squashes have always scared me so it took some courage to attack a spaghetti squash for this recipe. Its like they’re so large and if I don’t cook it well and it doesn’t taste good, then I’ve wasted so much food. But the squash cooked up easy peasy and the dish was sooooo delicious. The mayo was ridiculously easy to make and it was a creamy, spicy heaven. I LOVE CHICKEN!
SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! The mayo was so creamy when I added it to the squash. I have been so impressed with every recipe I’ve made off this website
I made this last night and it was amazing! I didn’t have an immersion blender, so I used a shaker bottle (one with the metal ball at the bottom) and shook the mayo blend well. I let the mayo then sit in the fridge for an hour and it was the perfect consistency!
This sh*t right here, THIS SH*T RIGHT HERE….WAS AMAZING!!! This is now added to my love list, along with your spaghetti squash with the avocado spinach pesto, your chicken alfredo spaghetti squash, and basically everything I’ve tried. Superb!
Thank you for this recipe Juli! It was amazing and gone in about 5 minutes- my family loved it!
Holy deliciousness! I only meant to try one bite as I’m on the last day of a detox diet. That one bite led to me shoveling fork loads into my mouth over the sink. Sans pants. Freaking delicious.
This is ridiculously good!!!!!!! Thank you for posting all your wonderful recipes.
This is the first recipe of yours that I have tried and it’s f***ing T!ts Mahone! Thank you so much! I’ve never had spaghetti squash before this 30 day Paleo challenge… I’m loving this!
