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.

- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

This was absolutely amazing! Thanks for another good recipe!
Made this tonight. Delish! I doubled the recipe, added a pound of hamburger and some canned pineapples. I was able to fill a 9 x 13 and a 9 x 9 pan! Thanks for the great recipe. Everyone loved it, even my picky son. 🙂
I made this tonight! It was AMAZING! It made the whole house smell delicious and it tasted even better! I sent the recipe to AT least three people in the last 30 minutes! I’m going to have non-paleo people at work try it tomorrow! For all of you hesitant people, MAKE IT TONIGHT!! You won’t regret it!
Yummmmmyyyyyy. I had to control myself bc I wanted to eat a lot more :-/ great and easy recipe !!! Def will make again
Every time I put spaghetti squash on the grocery list, my fiance gets that look in his eye that says, “I’d rather eat the carbs;” but this dish required NO selling to him! I threw in some fresh garlic and oregano, and next time I will add some spinach to get some greenery in there. Fan.Tastic.
Any idea how many calories and etc so I can add to myfitnesspal.com?
no clue
Excellent! Had a bulk freezer cooking session with a friend. We made it all the way to the point you would put it in the oven, and then froze it. Then 2 weeks later I defrosted it and baked. Fabulous!
Thanks for posting this comment! I was trying to figure out if could freeze it succesfully.
This is sooo delicious! I did have to bake it for 20 extra minutes, but I added mushrooms. Mmmmmmm. Will make all the time now! Thank you so much Julie!
First time commenter but long time reader! This is by far the greatest thing I have ever eaten off your site and that’s saying a lot because I’ve tried and loved everything. Its so easy to make! I’ve eaten the entire thing in like two days. I made it with half ground beef and half spicy Italian sausage. Daaaayum. Thats good stuff.
HI Juli! I made this for the super bowl this past sunday and everyone loved it! I attempted to make it again today but i some how over cooked the spaghetti squash 🙁 [It’s pretty mushy ] So I figured i’ll refrigerate the pork and sauce mixture and buy a new squash to try again… just out of curiosity, would i be able to use the over cooked squash or would you recommend getting a new one? Also, are there any uses for over cooked spaghetti squash? Thanks! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes, especially the “Treats”!
if it’s not too watery, you could totally use the squash still!
This has been my lunch for like 2 weeks. Still not tired of it, I just make it on sunday and enjoy the rest of the week. Thank you!!!!
