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.

I thought this would just be another spaghetti squash recipe trying to pretend…but wow. The egg and baking really set this apart; solid call on adding egg Juli. My entire apartment smells like real pizza which I miss more than many other foods.
Totally making this! Even if my husband won’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. I’ll eat it all myself! Anyway, so Against the Grain pizza is good eh? I’ve had Udi’s and it’s good, been eyeballing this one at the grocery… If you say it’s good maybe I’ll be crazy and try it 🙂 thanks for the yummy recipes!!
This recipe is honestly phenomenal…. it somehow tasted like real lasagna, my ultimate comfort food, even though it was cheese-less! Got raves from my boyfriend, too. Thanks Juli!!!
WHY is this so good!? My husband brought ALL of the leftovers from last night to work today and I could punch him. I waited too long to try it and I’m obsessed. It will definitely be on repeat in my house. Thank you for your awesome recipes Juli!
And that was supposed to be 5 stars!!
Made this tonight and thought it was delicious. I used ground pork instead of sausage and added an Italian sausage seasoning blend and some parm.
I just made this for the second time, and if possible, it as better than before. My two year old and my husband gobble this up every time! Thanks for such a great recipe!
Yum. This was so so so good!! The eggs almost gave it a cheesy texture, and I ate way too much. I doubled the recipe and added a jalapeno and half a bell pepper. This was ridiculously good. Great recipe!
This is a super yummy casserole. I made two of these last week because one is just not enough, and today I’m trying a double recipe all in one pan so how long should I cook the double recipe in a 9×13 pan? Thanks.
Since everything else is cooked ahead of time, you’re just looking for the eggs to be firm. Check it at an hour and go from there.
Juli,
This is delicious and satisfies this Itailan girl’s heart! My husband loves it too and said he could eat it everyday at work. You should know I’ve made it 3 times in the past two weeks! Thanks for all you do!
