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.

- 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.

Holy balls that tastes amazing. I’ve made a handful of your recipes and they do not fail for taste or fun. Thank you, thank you for being so creative in the kitchen so I don’t have to be 🙂
I just made this and it tastes soooooo good. it’s about to be a regular.. ohh and the fact that i can remember all the ingredients and measurements without looking makes me fall deeply in love with the recipe.!!
Juli, can I buy pizza sauce at stop and shop or trader joes?
Yes you can at trader joes. Don’t know about the other store
I made this yesterday for a weekly Paleo dinner-swap I have with a neighbor and it is SO good!! I used just a little bit of cheese in and on top, and topped with proscuitto and arugula! The only negative is I wish it made more! 🙂
This is absolutely delicious and very quick to make. The eggs give it a “creamy/cheesy” texture which is very comforting. I have made this several times. I added some mushrooms last time and it was almost like american chop suey!
I would love to share this recipe with a link to your website on my blog, amindfullmom.com. I tried it over the weekend and LOVED it!! My family was not a huge fan, but never has liked spaghetti squash, so I was pushing my luck with them 🙂
Share away!
I have eaten this for two days in a row. It’s like pizza and lasagna had a baby… I ate it. Awkward. I can’t believe there’s no cheese in it because it tastes cheesy and delicious. I added zucchini and mushrooms. Looking forward to the next two days of chowing down on this goodness. Thanks for the great recipes!
I made this yesterday and my friend tried it too. He commented how similar it is to a Dominican pastelon. Altho the seasonings are different, and there are no plantains in your recipe, it was funny to see how similar the dishes really are! We both loved it, BTW.
This is fabulous! We could eat it every day. Thanks, Julie!
So..nobody thought this was bland? I made it with ground beef, because I had no Italian sausage on hand. Maybe the Italian sausage with all its spiciness would’ve been adequate, but if your making it with anything else, I think a tweak on spices is called for. I wish I would’ve added a lot more than just salt/pepper and basil. I would’ve done maybe some sorrano peppers and garlic or pepper flakes in the mix. I will make it again, but next time with the sausage or add many more spices. Just not enough flavor for me.
Yep, it’s because of the Italian sausage
Perhaps your sauce was bland.
