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)

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.

- Lastly, add whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.

I’ve made this twice now and plan to keep some in the fridge at all times! I love how easy it is to throw in whatever veggies you have on hand.
I very rarely rank recipes. However this was so good! !! My very picky two year old went crazy over it. Did my heart good knowing she was getting a good helping of veggies with it! !!I
This was freakin amazing. Gonna try with ground chicken or turkey, and my own italian seasoning blend.
This was sooooooooo delicious and easy to make! I used Italian sausage, an entire onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic and doubled the pizza sauce. It turned out perfect!
I’m soooo excited I finally tried this recipe! My picky 20 month old eats a mainly paleo diet, but I have trouble getting her to voluntarily eat her veggies with out being hidden in things, but she LOVES this recipe! Thanks so much – it’s a hit in our house!
I’m going to try this tonight, it sounds great. I have a stupid question though, the recipe calls for 600g of squash is that the uncooked whole squash weight or just the noodles after it’s been cooked?
before it’s cooked
This was sooo delicious! Made it 2 x in one week!
Rough estimate – about how much does 1 large spaghetti squash yield? I am using some pasta that I found but I have no idea how much of it to cook.
I have made this with the spaghetti squash and it is great, just switching it up a little this time.
I can’t get a hold of spaghetti squash in my country, but i do have a pumpkin on hand – do you think I should cook it first or would that make it too mushy?
That may make it a bit mushy
I made this with mom last night, so delicious! We added mushrooms, roasted garlic and I used brewer’s yeast at the end as “cheese”. So good! I’m actually eating a leftover slice as breakfast!!
