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.

for those that added cheese, did you add it to the mixture or just on top?? i don’t want the cheese to burn since it bakes for an hour so just wanted to see what others have done. i was thinking i could add it at the end and broil it.
i’m thinking of doing parmesan and another good white melting cheese like gouda.
i mixed mine inside and baked it all together
Wow, Juli – thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve always really wanted to like the spaghetti-squash-as-pasta recipes but have always been disappointed. This changed my mind! I made it on Monday and picked up the stuff from the store this morning to make it again. Thanks, Juli!
is the sauage used in this recipe..store bought or home made?
store bought
I have an egg allergy. Do you have a alternative to the eggs in this recipe? It really looks tasty. Thanks.
not sure. i’m sorry!
Has anyone tried freezing and then reheating this, and if so how did it turn out? I try to prepare all my meals on weekends for the following week so I just wanted to know if this would reheat well (I know some squashes don’t reheat due to the water content).
This was amazing – I made with bacon and pepperoni instead of sausage and it really tasted like a perfect combo between pizza and pasta!!
Wow! Just made this for tonight’s dinner and it is the BOMB!! I actually made it in one pan using my cast iron skillet. Also featured in this week’s Paleo meal Plan. Adding this to my regular rotation of dinners.

I cannot wait to nom this.
I’m in love with this recipe. Finally made it the other night and had to stop myself from eating the entire pan. I hope my husband doesn’t complain, because I plan to make this every week.
