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)

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.

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

I just stumbled across this recipe. I must say it is AMAZING!!! I added green peppers and some mushrooms to it!! It is now my new favorite paleo meal!!! So good!!!
Hey Juli,
I made this for dinner tonight for me and my roomie, along with a kale salad. This is “Mama put her foot in it” good!!! Thanks so much for the recipe. You ROCK!!! I’m an actor and wanna be on Orange is the New Black. It’s my dream show. Gonna make it happen just like the magic you create with all the fabulous recipes on your blog!!! Wishing you continued success!!!
Made this for dinner last night and love love love it! My fiance is a terrible vegetable eater and really liked this too. He has a weird thing about texture. Does anyone have any ideas to make spaghetti squash really soft??? It wasn’t terribly crunchy but it was slightly. I cooked it at 400 cut in half for at least 30 minutes then at 350 for about 25-30 mins with some olive oil the last half.
Any other ideas?? Great recipe regardless!
try cooking the squash less time, then it won’t be as soft
We make this recipe every other week – it’s is SUPER yummy!!! Even for breakfast…great job Juli!!!
I LOVE this recipe. Thank you so much. I have made it several times, and am making a Mexican version of it right now. Just one quick question to clarify…my large spaghetti squash is usually about 4 lbs, and it makes this dish perfect, but 600 grams is only 1.322 pounds. Am I confused? Just want to make sure I’m doing it right. Thank you!
This recipe is incredible! My family loved it and it was easy to make. We used half the sausage and it turned out wonderful!
I made this two nights ago, and I love it! I microwaved my squash because I didn’t want to crank on the oven in the midst of this ridiculous blistering heat wave we’ve had in Southern CA. It turned out great! I used a whole onion and added sliced mushrooms and black olives. And it fit perfectly in a 9×13 pan. It’s so delish. I’ve been looking forward to my leftovers the past couple of days! I might try it again and add cheese to half for the boyfriend. 🙂
OMG!!! Every mother that can’t get her child to eat vegetales, needs this recipe right now! This deserves a nobel peace prize…seriously. I used a package or Premio sweet Italian sausage, one small can of Dom Pepino pizza sauce (yeah…I wasn’t interested in making a pizza sauce right now), and therefore, I was able to omit the extra seasoning. I just used the spaghetti squash, sausage (out of the casing), the can of Dom Pepino, half an onion and the eggs….. Heaven was found on Earth.
I happen to have 1 lb of Italian sausage and a fresh spaghetti squash just sitting at home waiting for me to make something with it. This recipe sounds amazing!! I can’t wait to go home and try it! Thanks so much!
