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.

Made this yesterday for my first week of meal prepping and HOLY MOLY. So good! I’m eating it for lunch now and am so excited I get to have it three more times this week!
OMG – Thank you for this recipe! I have made several of your recipes but this one is my favorite! I ate it in 2 sittings….hello food baby. I do believe I’ll be making again tonight. The best thing for me is that I just knew I was going to want cheese but I didn’t miss it at all.
Echoing everyone else here… this recipe is DYNAMITE. Subbed regular tomato sauce for the pizza sauce and still super flavorful. The only thing that was different was the cook time- took me about 90 minutes, prob due to all the moisture from the spaghetti squash. Thanks for a new regular in my rotation!! You are GENIUS! 🙂
I’m vegetarian so just wondering what the best veggie substitute would be – like what veggies would go best and how much?! Love all your posts!
Whatever veggies you want!! And probably 3-4 cups of veggies
Thank you! My bf LOVES spaghetti squash so I am pumped about this!
Do I need to bake veggies at all before mixing together with everything?
We added mushrooms into ours, and I didn’t cook them before hand- just diced them up, added to the mix, and the baked it!
I have seen you posting a lot about this recipe but kept forgetting to look it up. This seems incredibly delicious. I’m going to the store immediately to buy the ingredients to make it tonight!
Made this tonight! Delish! Thanks so much. Going to try the Pumpkin Cashew Curry next. can’t wait!
Ah! Made this today and it was incredible! I added pepperoni, proscuitto, and mushrooms.
My poor fiance is suffering a Whole 30 with me and he’s being such a good sport, hopefully this will help his crazy pizza craving 🙂
I made this today and it was AMAZING. I actually prepped it all up to step 8 and threw it in the fridge. Popped it out and into the oven today and mmm nom nom nom.
So good!! Not usually a huge spaghetti squash fan but this simple recipe had so much flavor and was so easy to prepare. Love all your recipes especially the ones with 5 (approx) ingredients. Thanks so much!!
This was fantastic! made it for dinner tonight using a pound of grassfed ground beef instead of sausage (couldn’t find it sugar free today) I just seasoned the beef with a sausage seasoning blend. I also added bell pepper and mushrooms. So good! Perfect to come home too post wod tonight 🙂
