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.

Juli, I can’t even stop laughing at you! You are too much!! My friend and I are hoping that you are coming to SLC, UT some time in the near future, we’d LOVE a Sunday FUNDAY for sure!! Definitely making this recipe, thanks!!
Making this now! This looks awesomeeee
Wow! PB Runner Jen linked this recipe a few days ago and I’m so glad she did! We just finished scarfing this down! I’m vegetarian so I subbed a pack of seitan, but otherwise made it as written, and it was dynamite. My husband, who is very much a meat eater, loves it. The eggs do a great job binding it and giving it an almost cheesy consistency.
I just made your FANTASTIC Spaghetti squash-sausage bake this weekend (I used bacon-sausage and chorizo. so good) and will be trying this out for next week!
Juli, you are seriously my new hero. Dinner? Solved.
I’m so making this! Looks like ultimate comfort on a plate!
Question about the AAG pizza – Did you use the recipe on her blog or the one in her book? Thanks!
The product is called “Against The Grain”, it’s not AAG… (I’m assuming you were referring to Against All Grain)..
yeah, against THE grain and against ALL grain are different things. THE is a product you can buy at whole foods
Do you cook covered or uncovered?
Any thoughts on doubling the recipe? I need enough for 5 lunches….
9 by 13 pan?
Ok, so when you finish Orange is the New Black you have to start House of Cards. It’s on Netfix…so good.
Is it dorky that I just had to excitedly tell my bf, “Juli from Paleomg eats Against the Grain pizza on Fridays nights and so do we?!” He was sorta happy for me. ha.
Also, Against the Grain makes some dee-Lish-shush bagels. And baguettes.
This looks great! I will try it for sure.
Hahaha we are twins!!
We don’t get Spaghetti Squash here in Australia. Can we use another veg in its place using a turning slicer?
a zucchini may work, but you would have to get out a lot of the excess liquid first
Hi Neil,
I’m in Sydney and can sometimes find it at ‘specialty’ type fruit and veg places (Harris farm market stores or similar?) Seems to have a very short season though…..
Recipe looks amazing Juli – it’s top of my list to try over the next few days.
🙂 Lea
I’m in Australia too, I just made this with butternut pumpkin, baked then put through the food processor to shred it up, it was so delicious!
This is in the oven as I type. Looks sooooo good. And I’m glad to know about Against the Grain. I’m going to pick up some of their stuff at Vitamin Cottage. I’ve been making my own pizza crust and I gotta tell you, that’s too much work! Especially when I make wheat pizza crust for the rest of the fam on the same night.Thanks so much for your recipes and your humor. Glad I found you!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was so amazingly good! Added sauteed mushrooms and Parmesan cheese (we eat primal). The husband had three helpings which is always a good sign!
