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

HOLY CATS BATMAN! Delish! You’ve done it again Juli! This is fantastic. Added diced bell pepper to the sausage and onion, a little parm cheese and mozzarella to the top…..slammin! Thanks for doin your thang girl!
Amazing!!!! It smelled so good cooking that both of my non spaghetti squash eating children said they would try it. Not on.y did they try it, they both had seconds and thirds. You have hit the jackpot with this meal. Keep up the great work!
OMG, this smelled so good while baking I had to hold myself back from cutting into it . First, how did you get this into an 8×8 baking dish? I used a 13x 9, but maybe I went overboard on the “large” spaghetti squash:) this was AMAZING! I added a little cheese on top and also peppers and mushrooms in with the sausage and onions. Thank you for the great recipes. This was my second try at the spaghetti squash, and it was a success!!
I had to use spiralized yellow squash, since Whole Foods was out of Spaghetti Squash. But it turned out awesome and delicious! I even put pepperoni slices on top during the last 10 minutes of cooking to make it even more like PIZZA!
I am so excited! I saw your recipe when I was looking for 21 Day Sugar Detox Approved recipes the other day and I could not wait to make it! I just got everything mixed up and put into the oven and now I just have to wait . . .
Super excited, thanks!

Ok, so you say to put the spaghetti squash in 400 degree oven for 20-25 min. Then turn the oven down to 350 and finish cooking to squash.. But for how long until it’s done? I also may have read the instructions wrong.
Manda, did you ever figure this out? I’m not sure, either. Am I cooking the squash until it’s completely soft, or does it soften up more in the casserole? I feel this is important, since overcooking the squash means it will never bake properly. Thanks!
Just shoveled the last fork full into my face. O M G. Fantastic!! Will add some mushrooms and maybe zucchini next time for sure!
Also thank you to whoever said the microwave the squash tip! Genius! I didn’t almost chop my hand off!
Mind blown. One of the best things I’ve ever made!!!!! 🙂
This was soo good! My family advised I better be making it again!
Super delicious and just what we needed in our recipe rotation!
