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.

Oh my GAWD!! This is incredible!! In fact, I’ll be doubling up the recipe next time just so that I have more to myself!! Logged this on MyPaleoPal last night and it’s my most popular dinner and they didn’t even taste it!!
Love your recipes, love your blog!
I just finished having the last of this casserole cold right out of the fridge for lunch. Made it last night with the intention of eating on it for a few days. It lasted literally one day. And it is by far my most favorite thing to eat, ever. This is a weekly treat in our house!
OMG indeed!! I am a huge fan and your recipes comprise about 80% of my meal planning. This, by far, is one of the BEST recipes I have made from your website. This will become a weekly staple. Thank you for sharing your talents with a triathlete who is a terrible cook!!!
This was GREAT made with turkey sausage. I like to prep 2 meals at a time and wonder if I can prep and cook one, prep and freeze the other. Anyone try this before? Thanks for the recipe!
Just made this and it is amazing! I used ground turkey italian sausage instead. This is a new favorite!

HOLY LEAPIN’ TOLIDOS! This recipe was a lip-smackin’ delight! And just the thing to kick a hormonal pizza craving while fueling my body with real, healthy food. I used Trader Joe’s sweet italian sausage as well as their fresh pizza sauce & added 3 cloves of garlic and a cup of mozzarella/asiago blend cheese. To maximize the crust surface area, I baked it a 9 x 13. Just polished off a third of the pan. Thank you kindly for sharing your culinary genius!
Made this tonight was great!
#heaveninmymouth #Absolutelydelish I could seriously eat this everyday!! 5 star recipe!!!!
Really really really good! And even better on day 2. I added all kinds of stuff: artichoke hearts, spinach, black olives and mushrooms. I think next time I’ll include some roasted garlic and maybe roasted eggplant too. I can only imagine how delectable this would be with goat cheese!!! I also like to top it with a little more sauce.
