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.

Love it!!! Will make again & again:-)
I just made this and it was so delicious! I am on day 2 of no dairy and this hit the spot! It also was a hit with the kids! I added pepperoni and put cheese on their half and jalepenos on mine
Not sure if I missed this in the directions or in all the comments, but do you cover the baking dish while cooking in the oven? remove cover (foil) for last few minutes? or just bake the whole thing uncovered? thanks
this looks so good… can’t wait to try it.
Bake it all uncovered
I just made this for the family last night and the little girls (read: picky eaters) gobbled it up! I am planning on making a second batch and freezing it for a meal in the future. I’ll let you know how it comes out – thanks so much for the recipe! PaleOMG to the rescue, again!
This was amaaaaazing!! I had dinner with a girlfriend and proposed this recipe, making sure not to tell her it was from a paleo blog bc then she would’ve shot me down! We added mushrooms and some cheese, and I improvised with sage and thyme and oregano bc we didn’t have any basil. I could live on this and my friend also thought it was superb.
This is in the oven now. Smells great!! I mixed in mozzarella cheese and put pepperoni on top. I can tell that this will be another recipe to add into the rotation of favorite paleo recipes. Thanks again!!
Help, please! I’m making this for dinner tonight, and my spaghetti squash is huge, way beyond 600 grams. Do you know how much cooked spaghetti squash this recipe needs? Thanks!
Making this for dinner tonight, and my zucchini squash way bigger than 600 g. Can you give me an idea of how much cooked spaghetti squash this recipe needs? Thanks so much!
I used to make something like this before paleo with regular pasta and it was SO good. I can’t believe I didn’t think of using spaghetti squash. I made this for dinner last night and it was AMAZING. Thank you so much!
I’m eating it right now and it’s GREAT!
