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.

This was fantastic. I love spaghetti squash and eat it a few times a week. Adding pizza sauce, protein, and veggies was a no brainer. Loved it. I’ll be recommending it to my friends!
I’m in the middle of another Whole 30…. and this recipe is AWESOME. It’s always nice to have a meal that has protein and veggies all in one easily reheated package. Plus, I could do the whole thing in my toaster oven! Definitely keeping this in my recipe rotation FOREVER. I give it 5 stars even though I can’t tell if my rating is going to go through with this comment…
Just made this. Used a little extra mild Italian sausage and about double pizza sauce. I think I’m in love. Hints of baked ziti, lasagna, pizza…and it’s paleo!! Wish I could post a pic.
Thanks Juli!!!
Made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! We added some kale, chili pepper flakes, and sprinked gruyere and parmason on the top. Thank you for this! 🙂
This recipe is insanely amazing, my family bought more ingredients and have begged me to make two casseroles so that they may have some in the freezer for that pizza craving. I even had it for breakfast. Very addictive! The only thing I changed was adding chopped mushrooms and green peppers. YUM!
2nd time making this last night and it was perfect. I used turkey sausage since I had a guest who doesn’t do pork. It was super good. I just spiced it up a bit more than just basil….Having it for lunch today with an avocado! Weird combo but have one I need to use up. Probably be awesome!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This recipe has been the yummiest thing that I have put in my mouth since starting The Whole 30!
This is a go to recipe. I’m obsessed with making it taco style. I sub the sauce for salsa and season the meat with taco seasoning. It’s a hit every time!
I am making this tonight and I am weirdly soooo excited! I am planning to use ground beef and add in some peppers and mushrooms. Would you recommend cooking the peppers and mushrooms with the onions before putting into the oven??!
I would cook them just a little bit
For my 1st attempt at this, I think it turned out fan-freaking-tastic! Super yummy, super easy. Mine did turn out a bit “eggy” but I think that can be attributed to the fact that the squash I used was on the smaller side (I did use 2 eggs instead of the 3 called for). Either way, yumm-may! I also added diced button mushrooms, leftover fire-roasted tomatoes and shredded Parmesan. I’m thinking that this could make a super breakfast pie as well by adding up on the eggs.
