Pasta is one of our favorite comfort foods, and I’m always looking at ways to incorporate more of it without heavy ingredients like cream, cheese, and butter. So on this quest, I finally came up with a Perfect recipe to not only enjoy a creamy pasta more often but without guilt (right, that’s the magic). What I did was replace three heavy ingredients with better-for-you swaps:

Butter with Mazola Corn Oil. Seriously, this was amazing. Mazola has a neutral taste, so the flavor of your food can shine through. Cheese with shredded cauliflower (for the pasta sauce) Cream with milk (for the pasta sauce)

You are not limited to these three. You can also replace regular pasta with gluten-free or high-protein pasta too. Also, don’t tell the kids there is a vegetable in this… (shhhhh). Seriously, it was that simple to switch, and now we have this dish at least once every two weeks, rather than once every 3-4 months. So let’s go ahead and glance at our ingredients.

Ingredients for our Healthy Buffalo Chicken Pasta:

Mazola Corn Oil Pasta, you can use any variety Shredded chicken, store-bought or homemade Shredded cauliflower, frozen is preferred Buffalo sauce, use any variety you like Flour Milk Cheese

How to Make Healthy Buffalo Chicken Pasta:

Boil the pasta as per package instructions or use pre-boiled pasta. Make the pasta sauce using corn oil, flour, shredded cauliflower, buffalo sauce and shredded chicken. Then add the cheese and cooked pasta to this sauce and mix everything. Now transfer the pasta to a baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs + cheese on top. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes. Once pasta is cooked, remove from oven.

Now, you see why I said it’s perfect for a hectic weeknight? Super easy to make, and if you have pre-cooked pasta and shredded chicken, then the recipe is done even quicker.

Once our Creamy Buffalo Chicken Pasta is baked, I like to sprinkle some sort of green garnish on top to make it look fresh. I usually add green onions here, but you can use cilantro or even skip this step.
