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 absolutely LOVE this! I added a lot of italian spices and olives – next time I think I’ll add mushrooms. Versatile, easy and delicious!! Thanks for the idea!
Finally got around to making this tonight (literally eating it as I type this) and it is awesome! Added some green peppers, mushrooms, and spinach and used sweet ground chicken sausage and it came out awesome! This one is easy and is definitely going into the recipe book!
We LOVE this recipe in our house. We had a spaghetti squash crisis recently, so we made it with butternut squash chunks and it worked great.
Made this on a whim and O. M. G. my taste buds died and went to heaven! Added a little cheese and wished I hadn’t because it seemed to make it too rich actually? But I added mushrooms which were amazing. This whole thing is just awesome! I can’t wait to eat it 30 times in a row!! 🙂 thanks for sharing!!!!
Absolutely delicious! I’m tempted to lick the plate (okay, who am I kidding, I will). So good. I’m a bit upset I gave my parents half of what was made. Just amazing, I can’t wait to make more (possibly today…).
This is AWESOME! Made it and been eating on it for a few days…love it and so fulfilling!
Really good. I doubled the tomato sauce (used spaghetti sauce) and added a bit of water because others commented it was dry, and it was perfect. My hubby said I should try something similar but with enchilada flavors. Surprising because he’s not a cook at all but I can totally see it working well! I thought that was an excellent idea and I can’t wait to try it with ground beef or chicken, green chilis, onions, and homemade paleo enchilada sauce!
I gave this recipe to my husband to make last night for us and we both LOVED it. I had to come back here and tell you his direct quote just sent to me over g-chat as he eats the leftovers for lunch “man that pizza bake is soo good i would think i was eating something that was bad for me – we should make 4 times as much at a time”. We added diced tomatoes, pepperoni, and banana peppers. Thank you for all your great recipes!
This is a genius recipe. It was more like 20 ingredients because we’re on a Whole30. No sausage, so used ground pork and lots of italian spices and garlic powder. No pizza sauce, so used a combo of diced tomatoes and tomato paste. I was getting the pizza vibe so I added sautéed mushrooms, green pepper and black olives (our favorite pizza). Just delicious, so cheesy without cheese. Love the idea above about going with an enchilada theme!
Thanks for a truly great casserole!
I’m new to the Paleo way, thanks to my boyfriend. 🙂 This looks sinful! THANK YOU!
