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’ve now made this recipe 3 times in the past 2 months and I can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve recommended it to a few others who have made it and they ALL have loved it. I love putting a layer of uncured pepperoni slices on top. YUMM.
This is AMAZING. I have been eating paleo for almost 2 weeks and have been struggling to find recipes that actually taste good. Finally I found one!!! I would crave this even if I weren’t eating paleo. Excellent recipe! Thank you!
This is soooo addictive! I added green peppers, then topped with pepperoni slices (those are our go-to pizza toppings, so it was a no-brainer!) and it was mm-mmm-GOOD! Thanks for the recipe! Oh…be prepared to use a much bigger pan than 8×8!
Do you think this would be good if I froze it after preparing to bake later?
i think it would still be great!
LOVE this dish! I thought I’d share my variation since you’ve been posting about enjoying goat cheese so much lately… I mix in about 3 oz of goat cheese before I put in the oven. It melts perfectly and makes the dish creamy and delicious 🙂
Seriously. This is so freakin good. My Crossfit-and Cinnamon Toast Crunch loving husband even thought so (those two things can be combined, apparently…when your gender is “male” and your abs are formed at birth).
I added in some pepperoni as well and I was transported back to 5 years ago eating (real)pizza. Love this!
This is my favorite paleo dish ever! I have made it many times. I’m going on vacation and I wanted to know if I could make it ahead of time and freeze it. What would you recommend?
LOVE this recipe. Got it through a friend a few months ago and make it all the time. This is especially popular when cooking for people who aren’t the biggest fans of paleo…They never know how healthy this recipe is until after the eat it (and i share the ingredients)
Not only was this casserole amazing to me, my whole family LOVED it. This is a huge deal for us being that I have an eleven year old, who was watching me make it in disgust, a seven year old who was indifferent and an almost two year old who is extremely picky. All three of them tried it and had seconds. My toddler ate it like his life depended on it! Thank you for this amazing recipe. It will be used regularly!
Do you think I could prepare the spaghetti squash and mix it all together and put it in the fridge and then bake it the next day?
for sure! just know that spaghetti squash tends to release extra liquid over time so i’m not sure if that would change the consistency
