Buffalo Chickpea Pasta


Read note at bottom prior to making

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

500g pasta
1/2 onion, diced
1 avocado, cubed
60g of spinach, chopped (about 2 handfuls)
2/3C mayo
1 can whole corn kernels, drained
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1t dill
1t oregano
1t chives
S&P, to taste
1C buffalo sauce (check notes at bottom)

Instructions

Half cook the pasta in water and then drain and set aside (reserve 1/2C of water)

Add buffalo sauce, canned tomatoes and chickpeas to a pot and bring to a boil

Turn temperature down and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally

Mix herbs and mayo together in a separate bowl

Add pasta and pasta water into pot and leave to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the pasta is fully cooked

If still too watery, continue to leave simmering on low heat until sauce has thickened

Remove from heat and add your herb mayo and stir through

Add salt and pepper to taste

Add your onion, avocado, corn and spinach and stir through

Serve hot or cold

**Note**

For the LIFE OF ME I cannot find buffalo sauce in stores so I attempted to make my own. If you find some, you wont need to reduce the sauce as much because store bought buffalo is normally much thicker. If you, like me cannot find any then here is my half assed attempt at making my own lol

You can follow this recipe or, If you can't be bothered buying hot sauce use mine...
Add 3 chilli's (with the tops cut off), 3T honey, 1T salt, 3t crushed garlic, 2T vinegar (I used rice wine) and 1C of water to a blender. Blend it up. And there you have it, a mediocre, watery buffalo sauce that desperately needs to be reduced to taste remotely similar to the real thing.
