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 love this!!!! My daughter and I were fighting over the last piece. Your recipes are always great! Thanks for posting them.
This is awesome. I made this for dinner tonight and my husband, who doesn’t do paleo, seen what I was making and said “I’m not eating that.” Well, he ate it, 2 big pieces, and said he would have sworn he was eating something with cheese in it.
Baking in the oven right now! Glad I read over again as I did not mix everything together!! A little tip on the squash….I microwave it for a few minutes….a lot easier and safer to cut!
This looks delicious! Would any kind of sauce work in place of the pizza sauce? I’m allergic to tomatoes 🙁
absolutely!
Super amazing! I made it following the recipe last week and today I think I’m going to make a “supreme” version because why the hell not. I know it will be glorious either way. I’ve made quite a few of your recipes (bacon meatballs, easy mexican salad, buffalo chicken pasta, acorn squash candy) and they never fail. I think I’ve actually made that damn ground beef every single week since October. Good luck with your move!
Oh my goodness – this was fabulous! Hubs and I are trying our best not to overeat it, but I suspect we will lose that battle. Also, it was the toddler’s introduction to spaghetti squash, and she is one happy camper! Thanks for posting!
OMG, delish!!! My mouth was watering the whole time I was smelling it baking. This was my first time working with spaghetti squash. Pretty easy, other than cutting it in half (incident free, this time!). 😉
Thanks for the great recipe, Juli! Can’t wait to make chorizo sweet potato skins tomorrow!
This is so delicious!!! We added fresh banana peppers, green peppers, and tomatoes. We used hamburger instead of sausage, and added some bacon!! This is definitely one of our favorites right beside your Smokey Bacon Chili! You’re awesome!
I echo all the comments… this is amazing!! Have you tried freezing it? Either before or after being cooked? I am trying to build up my freezer meals. Thanks!
This was so delicious. My husband inhaled almost the entire thing when he got back from his CF. He would have finished it but I insisted on trying it as well. My 15 month old loved it too and I’ll have to make it again for my 4 year old to try. I passed this recipe along to some friends and I can’t wait to make it again. Maybe with some veggies added next time.
