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.

Man, this is gooood! Made it three weeks in a row since Spaghetti Squash is easy to find and cheap this time of year. I also didn’t really get a crust on top, but don’t miss it at all. I made it exactly as written twice, and added mushrooms the third time – I will be doing that again in the future!
I plan on taking this dish across state borders to a family function, do you have any recommendations on the reheating temp/time?
it reheats pretty well. i would probably just cook it at 325 for 15 or so minutes, just until heated through
All I have in my freezer is ground beef; how would the recipe be different with beef instead of Italian sausage?
of course, you will just want to add some spices and herbs to make up for the lack of italian flavors
I don’t know why it took me so long to try this recipe. I guess I just needed to get my life together. But now that I’ve made it, and ate it, and sadly washed the empty Pyrex, I’m counting down the days until I’m allowed to make it again! It’s like PIZZA, but afterwards, I don’t FEEL like I ate pizza. And it’s so good leftover! Even cold! The only change I made was to use double the pizza sauce (I made Primal Palate’s no-bake pizza sauce), and I added some shredded Gruyere. And best of all, the whole thing was so easy to throw together. I’m totally writing about this casserole in my diary!
This was SUPER good! I made it with Trader Joe’s sweet Italian sausage, sliced black olives and fresh basil, with just a dusting of cheese on top. I put the cheese on after about 20 minutes, and it got VERY done by the end. I don’t think the cheese is necessary now that I’ve tasted it. Great flavors, and a great use of Spaghetti squash!
Hi,
I only have one XL egg left. Will that suffice or is there anything else I can add to help the binding? I already started baking the squash and I can’t get back the to store. Thanks!
That’s not going to be enough, but there’s not a sub so it’s better than zero eggs. Just try to spread it out as much as possible.
Sounds delish! Do you think zoodles would work as a sub for the squash, or do you think they would disintegrate too much? I just like how quick and easy they are!
yes, but you would have to make sure you drew all the moisture out of the zoodles first. with lots of salt and squeezing
I made this last night and cannot. stop. eating. it.
It’s so good. Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
Excellent! Thanks for a simple but tasty recipe!
I made this last night, and had it for breakfast this morning – AMAZING! I added an egg, spinach, mushrooms, and green peppers. Thanks Juli!!
