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

Juli, thank you SO MUCH for this recipe. I’m a longtime blog reader and podcast listener but this is the first recipe I’ve tried. My husband and I want to feel better and have decided to start eating paleo. This was our first foray and I could cry from happiness. This dish is incredible.
yayyyyyyy!! that makes me so happy!! hope you can enjoy even more of my casseroles!
Is there a good substitute for eggs? My son is allergic.
i have not made this recipe without eggs so i can’t say for sure
Juli,
I know you have had this posted for about a million years now and I am just commenting, but this recipe has saved Pizza Night in my house. My husband believes Sundays are for pizza. When I make this or our own version of this (replacing spaghetti squash with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles or chopped mushrooms, etc.) it is always a total WINNER. Thank you for each and every one of your recipes. The content of your website can NOT be matched! You’re our Superhero…
awwwwww thank you so much for the kind words, lisa!!
We’re loving this casserole! I’m making it for, at least, the 10th time today! I make it about once a month, and I’ve made some adjustments here and there. I add epazote! We’ve found the squash can make one a bit… gassy. The epazote helps! I use ground turkey instead of pork or beef, to keep the overall calorie count lower. I always buy the biggest spaghetti squash that I can find, and I make it in a larger, 9×13 casserole dish. I use an entire can of spaghetti sauce, and I usually add zucchini, artichoke hearts, or spinach to bulk it up a bit. This turns it into 6 servings! I usually serve with a veggie side. I also LOVE to add a little cheese and turkey pepperoni with black olives from time to time. Absolutely amazing!! But still fantastic without!! Thanks for such a solid recipe!
so glad you loved this recipe!!
Excellent!! I added an extra cup of sauce, red pepper, white onion, garlic and used a total
Of 3 lbs of beef. This turned out great with the extra sauce and set well!
glad you liked it kristen!
Hi Juli,
Do you have any info on the nutrition facts for this recipe? If this has been asked already and you’ve posted it before I’m sorry for being repetitive. It’s over 1,200 comments to look through.
Thanks!
nope, but you can easily put this recipe in to a nutritional calculator online to figure out those details!!
Oh my god! It’s very good!
Loved this. Wish I had made it sooner now that I see the recipe has been around for a while. I made ‘pizza sauce’ by mixing a 14 oz can of tomato sauce with a small can of tomato paste and adding onion powder, garlic powder and other spices and I ended up using more than 1 cup of the sauce. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will probably mix it all together in a bowl and then put in the baking dish as it got a little messing doing it all in one.
glad you finally found this recipe Lorna! and so happy to hear you liked it!
This is the BEST recipe! I love this and make it regularly!
so glad to hear it!!
I make this at least once a month and it’s my husband’s favorite! One of the only ways he will eat leftovers. A quick question – I’d like to make this ahead of time and freeze it for later. How would you recommend baking from frozen?
i’ve heard it’s not great frozen, it can get pretty watery that way
