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.

Hi Juli, I wad wondering how many carbs are in the baked spaghetti squash recipe? Looks so good. Tgsnx, Maria 🙂
no clue! i don’t really count carbs ever
Such an amazing recipe! I made a batch of this on Tuesday night and it was gone by Wednesday afternoon. Obviously the logical thing to do was make another batch on TH so that I could head into 2015 eating, what is undeniably, my favorite new recipe made by my favorite new food blogger! Thanks, Juli!
My new favorite recipe. So good I thought about it all day at work and couldn’t wait to get home to eat some. It’s even good cold. I used Delallo Pizza sauce and topped mine w sautéed baby bella mushrooms, raw green peppers, pepperoni and mozzarella. Delish!
Any nutritional information available for these recipes for those tracking?
no sir
Can you please suggest an alternative to spaghetti squash. It is not always available where I live and I LOVE this recipe. Thank you
you could make zucchini noodles instead
I am a home chef and my husband recently went paleo. Needless to say this was incredibly delicious and satisfying. I shared it with several friends. Please keep adding these wonderful recipes that taste like you are cheating!
I am OB-sessed with this recipe. I thought it was easier to mix in a big bowl first. Made mine in 2 smaller pans because I didn’t have an 8×8 pan.
Mixed in 1/4 cup of ricotta, and added bell pepper and shaved fresh parmesan on top. This recipe is KILLER.
Um this was delicious! Basically tasted like the real thing!
I made this last night, and it was absolutely delicious! 🙂 My family is currently in the middle on Whole30, and we have been craving pizza! This was perfect! We used Applegate Farms pepperoni instead of sausage. It was great! Thanks!
Made two of these for a group of friends and they all loved it! Added mushrooms and peppers and a little parmesan. So good. Thank you!! 🙂
