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.

OMG!! Finally got around to cooking this masterpiece and it definitely lived up to its deliciousness!! My husband went back for seconds and thirds . . even my picky eater loved it! Thank you thank you thank you! (Added olives and peppers, cheese on one side)
I made this and it was absolutely delish! My husband who is skeptical of spaghetti squash loved it and even took it to work for leftovers! I can’t wait to make it again this weekend.
Thanks for all of the great recipes! 🙂
Going to try this in my slow cooker tonight…I’ll report back on how it went although I’m sure it will be awesome 🙂
We made this last night and it was really good. We did add a little extra sauce to it, but so good. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I made this with a few modifications and it was SO AMAZINGLY GOOD. like best thing i ever made!
I am allergic to tomatoes so used BBQ sauce instead (some weird reason I don’t have any reaction to it) and added peppers,and used ground pork instead of sausage that I seasoned with “Bone Suckin sauce” seasoning. It’a actually so so good. Thanks for making this a staple! You can also play around with it so much too.
that sounds amazing!! thanks for sharing your changes, i want to try that now!!
HOLY BATMAN this is amazing…I made this last night and used chorizo instead of Italian sausages. Maybe cause I read the recipe wrong. However it was still amazing. Actually had a piece for breakfast and will eat a piece for lunch and probably dinner. Thanks Juli you make me want to go head first into Paleo. I actually just bought 4 paleo books and you have the best pictures 🙂
Thanks for being awesome

Making this tonight and plan on subbing ground beef for the meat since it will make me not have to go to the store. 🙂 You saved the hassle of figuring out dinner for me tonight so thank you, I think you deserve an award for that…or at the very least a sticker or something.
This was delicious. Now I have to make your new casserole.
This is probably breaking some kind of rule, but I just microwave my spaghetti squash for like 8 min to cook it, if anyone wants to skip that step
I just made this and added pepperoni!! Chopped it up an topped it on off- WOW. Good stuff right there.
I made this for dinner last night and it was way more amazing than I thought it would be. Nice work Julie.
