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

I made this recipe last week and I must admit I was very hesitant as I have never made spaghetti squash before or have ever had it! This was one of the most amazing things I have ever cooked; seriously! I used grass-fed beef instead of sausage and added garlic to the onion/beef mixture and it was fabulous. I also added mushrooms and used marinara sauce instead of pizza sauce. I had yummy leftovers for days! Thank you for this amazing and healthy recipe 🙂 Spaghetti squash is going to become a staple for me now!
I have made this 3 times now and it is absolutely delicious!
First time I made it as it = delicious!
Second time: I added spinach & peppers
Third time: I used 1 lb grass fed ground beef, .5 lb spicy chorizo, spinach and peppers in addition! Used a bigger pan and 4 eggs because I needed the space.
Juli, thank you for this! It makes the work week so much easier when this is in the fridge! I will keep experimenting and trying this recipe with different ingredients!
I stumbled across this recipe in February during my first advocare challenge and I can’t stop making it. It’s so easy and delicious! my boyfriend didn’t think he would like spaghetti squash, but he loves this!!
That recipe looks great but that dog is so adorable!!!! What is the doggies name.?
I love French Bull dogs
Jackson
any substitute for the eggs?
Have made this 4 times..Pizza and then Taco version with home made taco seasoning, increasing meat, eggs and squash size to accommodate a 9×12.. By the 4th time I mixed it all in a bowl, then, layered the bottom of a 9×12 with cheese and then dumped the mix in. Some how the Spaghetti Squash always settles onto the bottom this stops that. 3 co-workers have made this and love it! Oh, I too bake my squash whole , cut off the ends when done and shred. Works great!
Taco version?? Please share!!
Hi Juli, I am definitely making this, but have a question, the FB pictures always have pepperoni on top which makes it look even more amazing…do you still use the 1lb sausage in the mixture and then just add the pepperoni on top or are you substituting the pep for sausage? Thanks!
yep!
Do you have any suggestions for an egg substitute? Maybe oil? I can not eat eggs and really want to try this. Thank you
This looks amazing. And by the way, my boyfriend and I go through at least 1 package of Capellos chocolate chip cookies a week. They are freaking amazing!
I have made this numerous times and we absolutely love it! My youngest daughter does not eat beef or pork so I make it with an Italian chicken sausage and just remove the casings and brown it.
