I am now obsessed with butternut squash noodles. They have this creamy nutty texture that's WAY higher than pasta noodles. So what number of occasions did I make them this week? Oh I’m joyful you asked! Just four times. And this week, I even have them on my checklist to make at the very least 5 more.

PALEO CHICKEN PAD THAI
I’m getting somewhat off topic. Paleo Chicken Pad Thai was born after my youngsters demanded what they name “peanut butter pasta” for dinner. It has probably probably the foremost delicious Thai peanut sauce and is served over pasta with chook and vegetables.

Since we via no means appear to have peanut butter within the residence anymore, I made an almond butter sauce. I replaced it up somewhat from my steady sauce, including in a few lime and making it creamy with a few flax milk (any dairy loose milk will work). And the outcome from my official style testers?

AWESOMESAUCE!!! Their word, now not mine. I was capable to get them to attempt a few butternut squash noodles with a combination of ordinary pasta. I also replaced up the vegetables somewhat and introduced in a few purple cabbage. Just as the purple was so pretty.

HOW TO MAKE:
To make issues actually easy, I baked the chook and the noodles at the similar pan whereas I made the sauce. Saving time and dishes, to make this dinner prepared in much lower than 30 minutes!

You too can opt for the stovetop version, the two method you WIN!

Add in that further crunch with chopped almonds or cashews. You may just need further sauce than you need, but you possibly can reserve for one other day, or as a dipping sauce with vegetables.
