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.

Amazing!!!! Made this last night and just tried it for lunch. Only problem is I did not bring enough with me. Next time I will double the recipe.
Thanks Juli!
This recipe is excellent! Super easy and very adaptable to any addition add-ins. Love it!
Made this tonight and as many posts before me have stated, this us AMAZING!! My husband who refuses to eat spaghetti squash actually took a bite and then with a slight smile asked me to pack some for his lunch tomorrow 😉 That my friends puts the stamp on this recipe as a WINNER!
OK. as a gluten/dairy intolerant person with some other issues, I said goodbye to some foods a long time ago, and am fine with that, but PIZZA is the one thing that still makes me want to have a pity party when others are macking down on big cheesy slabs of deliciousness. THIS TOTALLY FILLS THE PIZZA VOID!!! I modified only slightly, to add green pepper and onion. It feels so decadent, but then I turn around and realize, it’s more than 60% vegetables. Hot Damn!! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
Made it, loved it, have it once every couple of weeks now – THANK YOU!! http://healthifiedkitchen.blogspot.com/2014/02/paleo-spaghetti-pie.html
This is amazing!! I wasn’t able to find sugar free pizza sauce so I used my homemade spaghetti sauce and just added a little more basil. I also browned up some sliced mushrooms!! I love the versatility of this recipe! With recipes like this I don’t miss eating a typical non-paleo diet 🙂
OMG is right! My first experience with paleo and spaghetti squash was this recipe. I’m totally sold. So delicious even my two year old asked for seconds and he rarely does that! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!
I don’t understand how you come up with these bizarre yet COMPLETELY delicious recipes. This rocked my world and my dinner table!
probably because i’m completely bizarre
I just have to tell you that I pretty much drag my hubby through Paleo and when I told him that I was making this for dinner tonight he was excited. This is probably one of the only “Paleo” meals that he actually looks forward to (as long as we have red wine too) . So thanks for that! You are helping me win the battle! 🙂
So I have been trying to like spaghetti squash for like 10 years now. No luck, however, I tried AGAIN with this recipe, modified it a bit because of what I had on hand, and it was delicious!!! Even my 8 yr old who eats nothing, absolutely nothing, ate it and LOVED it!! ( I didn’t tell him it was squash BTW) Total winner!! This will be made again and again. I also use your spice combination for the pulled pork chili for all my chilies now. Perfect! Thanks for the great ideas!
