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.

My husband absolutely loved this as did I. We are trying to eat healthier and this is a great recipe. All I can say is YUM!
Hi. Let’s be friends. That was ridiculously easy and I had to create physical distance between myself and the casserole before we caused too much physical damage to each other. I weighed jack shot as well…don’t worry about the ratios too much, people…there’s no such thing as bad pizza. (PS added shrooms, yellow squash, kale, bell peppers, and super chunky homemade sauce). Thanks Juli!!
Sooooo good! And sooooooo easy! Great recipe to add to the rotation. Thanks, Julie!
I made this last night for dinner and it was a HIT! I used a combo of ground beef and sausage and added green peppers and garlic. My husband and I LOVED it!! I really is like a Paleo Lasagna! I’m definitely adding this one to the meal rotation but also for options when we are hosting non-Paleo eaters! Thanks!!
I have 20 minutes of bake time left but mine is looking verry water-y…. Any suggestions?/did I do something wrong?
patience. you gotta let it cook the whole time. sometimes the squash has more of a water content, but cooking it the entire time is REALLY important.
I saw this over on CNC today. I can’t wait to try it!!!
I have this in the oven right now! I am making it for a ski trip this weekend. I am the only gluten free person on this trip. So this is a good alternative for me. I added some kale to it as well. I can’t wait to try!
This is seriously good. Thanks so much for the recipe. Just found your blog today and am loving it!
This is amazing. One of my favorite recipes for Paleo
I found your site a few days ago and I’m am so freaking happy that I did. Day #7 of 21DSD here….I was trying to follow Diane’s day-by-day plan but not everything excited me. Many of your 21DSD recipes sound delicious to me and this is the first I tried yesterday. Awesome!! My husband (not doing 21DSD with me) enjoyed it too. And I read recently that you love the Mindy Project. Who doesn’t?? Food and TV compatibility? It’s like you came from heaven. You are my saving grace during these tough 3 weeks! Thank you!!!!!!
