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..

My husband and I both LOVE this dish! I’ve made this multiple times. In fact, we had non-paleo people over for dinner last night and I made it and they both LOVED it. Last night was my first time making my own mayo (I got an immersion blender for Christmas…it really is LIFE CHANGING!!) and it was awesome! Thank you for the great recipes! Love your blog!
I just tried this recipe for the first time and it is AMAZEBALLS! I ate a huge bowl, and now feel like I’m going to explode…I guess that’s the price I pay for my gluttony. But its worth it…oh-so worth it!!! I will definitely be making this again! Just wanted to say your recipes are kick ass, and you make Paleo life SO much easier 🙂
Girl, you ROCK!! Had this for dinner tonight and it was AMAZING!! My picky, picky 8 year had 2nds!! I have to say that since I cook dinner, the family eats Paleo, and everything I have made from your site gets rave reviews from my hubby & kids. I have made other Paleo recipes (different sites) and they turn their nose up to them. I am only going to include your recipes in my weekly dinner menus. Thank you again!!
PS-I can’t rate this recipe from my phone for some reason, but I give this a 10
I read the little statement before reading this post and distinctly recall you saying you had an off sense of humor and I just have to say, you had me laughing out loud, at work, and this attracted the kind of attention I did NOT need but it was worth it. I’m excited to try this recipe. Sounds amazing!
Never fail mayo is awesome enough — The paleo dish that non-paleo eaters scarf down is amaze-balls!
Thanks for making it so interesting. Made this again tonight and wanted to give it 11 stars!
My Fiance and I also do the Zone Diet so I had to adapt everything for our blocks but so far this is a very promising recipe! I also used some pre-made Mayo I found “Lemonaise” since we are more strict on Zone and less strict on Paleo. Frank’s red hot is the buffalo sauce we used as it is also Paleo! Yummy Yummy!!!
OMG, this recipe is truly amazing. I am so in love with all things Buffalo Chicken (which is convenient, since I live in Buffalo…lol). Thanks for coming up with this brilliant recipe! It’s going in the regular rotation, for sure!
I think we were separated at birth. Same, let’s call it odd, sense of humor. Other than the fact that I’m old enough to be your mother, have blue eyes, blonde (insert grey here) hair and am fair I don’t think anyone would know the difference. To my point now. Since I’ve gone all Paleo on myself, I can’t drink very much! UGH!! The horror. Like you, I like saving the $, but have become very boring. I want answers as to why this is happening and I want them now!
I made this last night! So good!
LOVE!! Next time I will use only 1/2 the mayo mix, but other than that it is awesome!!! At first I thought I would use bottled mayo, but once I really read the recipe, I realized how easy it is!
