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

Hi! I Have been meaning to leave a note for you. My husband and I love love this dish!! I usually use more beef than sausage, and I add mushrooms & olives , and sprinkle the top with crispy bacon. I eat it for breakfast for 2 days after. We make it weekly, and tonight we got to use the spaghetti squash out of our own garden!! Thank you so much for the posts! Btw, love Jackson ! He is so stinking cute and I look forward to his IG posts!!
This was delicious!
I like to tell people when something is good, and this is FANTASTIC!!! Will make it again and again I am sure!! Thank you!!
If I don’t like squash, and by “don’t like”, I mean “hate with a passion that exceeds all other passions”, will I like this?
I know that might be a silly question, but I’ve read a lot of recipe reviews with comments like, “I hate xyz, but I went back for seconds when I made xyz.”
Lol I have no clue! Worth a try!!
Making this for dinner on a cold, dreary Sunday. Can’t wait for it to come out of the oven! Thanks for such a terrific, healthy recipe.
We recently discovered spaghetti squash & love it! I’ve got 2 spaghetti squash cooked/ cooling and plan on making this pizza for dinner tonight. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I made this today & loved it! I added to following, 1/2 tea of herbs de france, chiptle chile powder, pepper flakes & 1 TB of tomato paste & used turkey sausage. This recipe is very forgiving & you can add anything, this is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!
Our family LOVED this, it was even better the next day! My two boys (ages 12 and 9) wanted it for after school snack the next day, but their dad and I had already devoured the leftovers for lunch. This will become my go-to spaghetti squash recipe.
Thanks so much!
Wow! Fantastic! Even met the approval of my teenage boy who does not favor spaghetti squash! Made a few tweaks, forgot the onion (oh well), and had a HUGE squash. So I used a bigger pan. I like pasta/red sauce so used an entire 24 oz jar of a tomato basil sauce and added a few more tuscan seasonings. Used a chicken Italian sausage in the casings, just cut it up in small bites. But it came together beautifully. Many thanks for the great recipe.
I forgot to add the egg! Dang it. I’m sure it will still be yummy. 😉 I added zucchini to mine.
