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.

I just finished my first plate, which was incredibly good. For the sauce, I used Mezzetta Arrabbiata, which is almost entirely Paleo (made with wine) and adds a little kick to the dish.
This was the first time I’ve cooked spaghetti squash as well. What an amazing veggie! Thanks so much for this recipe.
OMG this was so delicious! Next time, I’m going to add a crap ton of garlic and some spinach. I love your blog Juli, you’re the best!
Tastes amazing and super easy to make!
I made this last night — I added in a carton of sliced mushrooms and a bag of frozen spinach, and I used 1 extra egg. Tasted incredible! Might be one of the best recipes I’ve ever made? I sent the link to my mom and sisters to try it. I love how this concept (spaghetti squash lasagna) can be modified with all different types of mix-ins!
AMAZING! my boyfriend loves pasta which is the main reason he won’t come aboard the paleo train. i made this and we both loved it! not sure if my squash was just enormous or what but i followed the recipe exactly and my mixture BARELY fit in a 9×13; there would have been no hope for an 8×8. since it was so much i added an extra egg and a little extra sauce too. plus zucchini and a truckload of fresh basil. he took some to work and i’m having it for lunch! YAY for this recipe!
Made this tonight for dinner. Couldn’t find pizza sauce so I used a small can of tomato sauce and some tomato paste instead. I also added green peppers and mushrooms to the sausage/onion mix…yum! I bet the leftovers will be even better tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!
For those of you looking for an egg substitute, I made “flax eggs” because I was out of eggs.
For each egg, add 3 Tbsp of water to 1 Tbsp Flax meal and let sit for 10 minutes.
I’ve never done it before, but it worked beautifully!
Awesome recipe!
One of the things I crave the most having gone Paleo is pizza. Most gluten free crusts just don’t cut it and I really like the toppings more than anything else. This is a new staple in my recipe rotation. So, so good.
Instead of the sausage I added canadian bacon and pineapple… all I’m missing now from my favorites pizza is the cream cheese (maybe I’ll splurge next time). And there will be a next time as the boyfriend and I both loved it!
This is literally the best recipe i’ve found on any site to date! It is so amazingly perfect 🙂 I added some low sodium pepperonis and a little bit of Parmesan to the top. No words to describe it! Heaven!
