I found out multiple things over the weekend. The first one being I want to eat this pizza spaghetti pie recipe for the rest of my life. Seriously. It’s probably one of the best recipes I’ve ever made. Or tasted. I ate it for multiple meals and was extremely saddened when it was gone. And when it was, I had to eat cookies. Which led me understanding another fact. I love cookies. Actually, I love cookies from Cappello’s. You have to try these cookies. They are the best cookies to hit the paleo world. I want to make a home out of them.
Wait, that was only 2 facts. Here are some more that I learned:
- Gluten free pizza by Against the Grain should always be eaten on Friday nights. I kind of really really really want it to be a tradition.
- I hate working out in the morning. And since my workout Saturday morning sucked because I was pouting about being at the gym, I had to go back that night. And miraculously, that workout was wonderful. I don’t know how my 6am people do it.
- I wish I did lunges more often. That should be one of my New Year’s Resolutions. It won’t be, but it should.
- I hate cooking on the weekends.
- Ok, that’s all I really learned.
This weekend was uneventful…to some. To me, it was wonderful. Friday night, I fell asleep by 8:30pm. Saturday night, I bought Netflix and became newly obsessed with Orange is the New Black. I’ve watched 6 episodes so far and I want more. Apple TV is seriously the coolest invention ever. What’s the point in having cable anymore with that thing?? It’s so rad.
But the most thrilling part of the weekend was definitely Sunday. I got to sleep in, go to brunch, drink a bloody mary, then a mimosa, eat a scramble, then head to a friend’s house for more mimosas. And then some more. I haven’t had a Sunday Funday in a loooong time and it was awesome. So awesome that I don’t even really remember what I ate for dinner. Or what the sixth episode of Orange is the New Black was about. But I remember both were good. Real good.
Now go make this recipe. I’m seriously making it for the second time today because I want it so bad. Make it and tell me what you think. Even if you hate it. If you do though, you’re weird. Straight up weird.
Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash (about 600 grams)
- 1 pound italian sausage
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup pizza sauce (no sugar added)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 eggs, whisked
- (optional: add anything you like with pizza: veggies, basil, even cheese if you do primal)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the skin of the squash gives when you press on it. Then reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
- Once squash is done cooking, remove threads and place in an 8×8 greased baking dish.
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add italian sausage and onion. Cook until pink no longer remains in the sausage and it is broken up into pieces.
- Add pizza sauce, dried basil and salt and pepper to the pan and mix well.
- Add sausage mixture to the 8×8 dish and mix well with spaghetti squash threads.
- Lastly, add whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.
- Place in oven and bake for 1 hour or until the top of the mixture forms a slight crust that doesn’t give when you press on it in the middle of the dish.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Hi! Great recipe! If I use an inspiralizer and make squash noodles beforehand, do I need to cook it and for how long before I put it into the meat mixture for baking? Thanks !
nope, just add them in and they will soften up!! be sure to drain some of the excess liquid with paper towels though
This was really really good! I added veggies that I had around (mushrooms, kale) and did about half spicy italian sausage and half ground beef. It was delicious and I’ll definitely make it again! The eggs are such a great addition, even though I was mentally freaking out in the back of my mind while stirring them in. This dish is an excellent lasagna substitute and didn’t last long. I ate the leftovers for breakfast the next morning… Thanks for the recipe!
Ahhh!!!! I had all the ingredients to make this and made plain spaghetti instead (insert sad pouty face here!) OK, it’s on my list for next week!
Made it. Ate it. Loved it.
thanks for another awesome recipe! This will definitely become a staple!
Okay, not sure if you have already answered this but what kind of sausage did you use? I made this today and it was really liquidy – I think the fat from the sausage was too much – I tried draining the sausage but obviously I didn’t do a good job of it. Other than my crazy sausage this recipe is awesome!
i just used italian sausage from whole foods
This was so easy- and delicious. Subbed in Elk meat. Will definitely make again.
Thanks for sharing!
Made this tonight and it came out great, I will use a shallower pan next time so it gets a little crispier and add more sauce. Otherwise I can’t want to make it again and should make great leftovers!
Just had this for dinner. It was AMAZING!
My husband was leery that it would be one of my “weird” dishes.. wanted to know what the back up dinner was for the kids… Shah! They gobbled it up. Just heard the five year old say, “I love it”. . . That’s the kid who doesnt like pizza, hamburgers or corn dogs. Yup. We used ground turkey, sauce and spices and then topped with cheese. Meant to use black olives but forgot. DELICIOUS. Thank you for being a genius.
BIG DEAL here! This is the first Paleo recipe I’ve tried (yeah, I’m not a chef in the least). I am SO glad I tried this: I, hubby and two grandkids loved it! This is going to be on the menu at least once a week. Sprouts was out of Spaghetti Squash; the produce manager suggested Acorn Squash. Delicious! Thank you so much!!!
