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.

Can this be made with ground beef if I mix it with the Italian seasonings?
absolutely! it won’t taste exactly the same but still delicious
I made this yesterday, it was AMAZING.
Made this tonight, but it was very watery. Otherwise the flavor was okay. I am sure it was from the squash, but why did this happen? I did not see anything saying I would need to squeeze the liquid. If I try this one again, I will definitely do that.
you probably overcooked the squash which means it gets very watery and your dish will be even more watery. make sure to not overcook the squash, it should be stringy and no watery at all
Hey Juli,
Do you have any ideas for a substitute for the spaghetti squash in this recipe? I’ve made it many times and love it but have been having a hard time finding spaghetti squash as of late.
Thanks!
i want to say zucchini noodles, but that may get a bit watery. you could always use cauliflower rice! it wouldn’t be exactly the same but still delicious!
I was also afraid zoodles would be too watery so I went with an entire head of cauliflower and it turned out awesome! It didn’t really taste like cauliflower (I like that spaghetti squash has a very subtle flavor for this dish). Thank you!
Has anyone tried freezing and reheating this? I am hoping to make this for a new mama, and am hoping it will be freezer-friendly. Would love any advice or recommendations on how to reheat (temperature, how long?) Thanks!
This looks amazing. I can’t wait to try it. Has anyone tried adding in a layer of “nut cheese” made from cashews?
I liked the flavor and texture of this dish, but next time I’ll try a medium squash so I have a little less squash and a little more sauce. Just personal preference. Had a leftovers, which tasted just as good.
I made this last night and my boyfriend came home as I was taking it out of the oven. When I told him what it was, he gave me a look that said, “Why are you doing this to me?!?” Fast forward fifteen minutes…he was cleaning his plate and asking for seconds! He even mentioned it this morning before he left for work, calling it, “surprisingly delicious!” LOL. I have fallen madly in love with this recipe and already sent to my sisters and my best friend. Thank you so much!! Btw, I used hot Italian sausage and added spinach and mushrooms and some extra sauce. Set up beautifully. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE this recipe to death. Im’ wondering where I can purchase sugar free pizza sauce? I haven’t had luck locating it in the grocery store.
whole foods! i honestly don’t remember the brand but i’ve bought at least 2 different kinds of sugar free pizza sauce there!
Eden Organic is the brand I just picked up yesterday at my grocery store’s organic section.
Okay, this is SERIOUSLY delicious!!! I made it last Friday night and munched on it all weekend (even for breakfast one morning). If you didn’t know better, you’d swear there was cheese in this. I added some fresh mushrooms because I love them. I will definitely be making this one again.
