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

AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it yesterday as my “carb loading” meal prior to my half marathon today. Then I enjoyed the leftovers since I was too tired to cook today. Even my friends enjoyed it. Looking forward to make it again.
Do you completely cook the squash before scraping it out? Spaghetti squash usually takes about 40min in my oven at 400. But I wasn’t sure if you just cook it for 25min for this recipe since it’s going back in with everything else for an hour. Help please! 🙂
yes, it should be completely cooked through. i think my oven is a little quicker than most because mine always cooks much faster than other peoples. do make sure to cut it in half and place it cut size down on the baking sheet, it helps it steam so it cooks a little quicker
Made this over the weekend and had it for breakfast AND lunch two days in a row! Love it.
As always, your recipes never disappoint! We tried this out over the weekend and WOW! Pizza has always been my downfall- I love it, but it just doesn’t love me and I always regret using it as a “cheat” meal. This was the best thing in the world for me! The whole house smelled like pizza as it was cooking and it tasted absolutely delicious. This will be a new staple in our house, for sure!
Made this Saturday night after a long (and awesome) day at a USA Weightlifting course. It was amazing. I swapped up the sausage for grass fed ground beef and added mushrooms and broccoli. My husband went back for thirds!!! Like another poster, I have never been moved enough to comment on a blog about a recipe, but here it is well deserved!
Made this last night! BF approved! I’m on whole30 and this tasted like a treat! thanks! d-liiisssssshhhh
This is simply amazing. Simple to make and so yummy. If only I could find spaghetti squash a bit easier (and not just organic for $9.00) then I would be in heaven!
I’ve cooked spag squash before, but not like you suggest. Ok. So I cut my squash in half lengthwise. Do I scrape out the seeds before cooking it?
nope. i keep the seeds there because once it’s cooked, it’s much easier to scoop out the seeds. then just use a fork to scrape away at the threads
I made this for my family and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! I even had it for breakfast the next morning. 🙂
