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.

We literally make this weekly and we love it! It’s one of the few recipes my husband has said that we should make often and that he would never get tired of it. So easy too! Thanks Juli!
awesome!! glad you love it, kristi!
What alternatives to spagetti squash could be used? We are posted abroad and unfortunately while this is a favorite of mine, it’s not available. Would butternut squash be a reasonable sub? This looks amazing!
i’ve never made it any other way, but definitely check out the comments because i’m sure other people have!
I made this once, and my husband was skeptical that it would set up right. (It did.) I liked it more than I expected given that I don’t love Italian food, but he loved it. Then he confessed that he almost accidentally pulled the chorizo out of the freezer instead of the sausage and it hit me – not sausage and pizza sauce – chorizo and chili peppers! I made it again tonight using chorizo, roasted Hatch chilis and some mexican flavored tomato sauce and it topped it with guacamole. It was awesome! My mouth is still burning a little 🙂
One of our favorites! I love all your spaghetti squash casseroles! I’ven made this 2 times and your buffalo one at least 5 in the last 3 months. Thanks for the awesome recipes!
glad you love it!
Love this! Make it all the time for my family! We recently couldn’t find spaghetti squash at the store and shredded two very large sweet potatoes as a replacement. It was wonderful!
Thanks Juli!
good to know!! glad you loved it!
Made this last night in individual tins and it was AMAZING!! Subbed whole eggs for Egg Whites and used Ground turkey! Will defiantly make this again! You create the best recipes!! 😉
So what did I do wrong- was a watery/soupy….. it never really set. Thanks!
you may have overcooked the spaghetti squash, which means you created a more wet mixture. or you may have not cooked it long enough
I’m just really starting off my paleo journey and this was a TERRIFIC first meal! Unfortunately, mine was REALLY soupy so I kept draining it throughout. Next time, I’m going to roast my spaghetti squash for a little bit less time and let it sit in a strainer while I’m cooking the sausage, too ensure it’s not adding too much liquid. I also added too much sauce, after seeing comments about it not being saucy enough, so not doing that in the future should help too. But it tasted amazing and I really had to force myself to not eat a second helping!
if you don’t cook the spaghetti squash as long, you won’t have to drain it in any way. if you’re having to drain it, it’s overcooked
I continue to make this almost every week – I use extra onion and lots of bell peppers! This is one of my very favorite meals and even my boyfriend absolutely loves it! He’ll choose leftovers of this over almost anything else. Thanks Juli!
Seriously SO FREAKING GOOD. I will make this over and over again! Sharing with all my friends!
glad you liked it, brittany!
