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 am new to the kitchen and I am confused by how to incorporate the spaghettis squash. Is it basically a crust at the bottom that I mash down there, Or is it blended in with everything?
blended in with everything
Whoa. One of the best things I’ve made since going Paleo! Props my dear, great recipe.
Tried it out last night for dinner, and my boyfriend and I loved it! The squash was a tad overdone, but still turned out wonderful! Love these simple, few ingredient, yummy dinner ideas <3 Thank you!
This one is a winner for me, and I haven’t cooked it yet 🙂 it looks great, plus you have two of my most everyone’s favorite Italian dishes in the name, it’s just got to be amazing!
Going to change the pumpkin out and swap something else in, I’m actually growing tired of pumpkin the last week or so, I eat it WAY too often, Love it though!
Great recipe! keep em coming!
You’re right. This could be my meal every single day. It’s effen amazeballs! It’s too hot to cook in the kitchen so we put it in aluminum pans and cooked it in the infrared cooker. Came out perfect!
yay!! glad you loved it, sonya!
I have never even heard of spaghetti squash, but I Googled it and will do my best to locate it in the stores. I have a good idea of where i might find it!
Will certainly test this recipe!
Juli this recipe is spot on! I served it to some of my crossfit friends after one of our workouts, and it was an absolute hit. I love when the paleo world creates something that we were used to eating back before our paleo days :). Keep up the good work, I’ll be on the lookout!
This and the buffalo chicken pie recipes are two of our very favorites! We load it up with all our pizza favorites. My boyfriend cooks them in our infrared cooker when it’s super hot out and they always turn out fabulous.
Oh dear, I’ve repeated myself. 🙂 At least you know I wasn’t lying when i said we love, love, LOVE this recipe!
I recently found your website and I am in love! 🙂 This is the first dish I tried from the site and I was sort of skeptical with the small list of ingredients and I never use squash. I put it together just as described with the addition of green pepper, crushed red pepper, and a tad more basil. Seriously, so good and simple! I plan on having it over the week for lunch. I also bought your book! The first thing I made were the pancakes (delicious) and I want to try the the chicken carbonara next! Thanks!
so glad you loved it, sasha!! welcome to PaleOMG – hope you love many more recipes in the future!
One of my favorite recipes of all time. My boyfriend loves it too and we eat it pretty much once a week. Juli, your recipes/personality/fashion are what keeps me coming back for more! Thanks!
