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.

This is genius.
Ok. This looks just amazing! Now… I am not a recipe developer like you, but I am wondering… what do you think about this? You swap the sausage for chicken, and the pizza sauce for a creamy cauliflower sauce and add bacon and maybe some other veggies. What do you think? Do you think it could work?
no clue why it wouldn’t work!! sounds great to me!
I think we would be good friends in real life.
I can’t wait to try this! I still think your meat sauce is the bee’s knees and make sure to always keep some in the freezer for quick meals. Question: Do you think this recipe would hold up to freezing and reheating? I guess only one way to find out!
i think so!
Did you try freezing it? How long and at what temp did you heat it up for?
I made this last night so that my hubby could take it for lunch tomorrow. He just had it and said it was the bomb.com! I’m having it right now (didn’t taste test it last night) and it is the shizzle! Thanks for another great recipe, Julie!!!
And by the way…a thumbs up from my 4 year old. He ate an entire serving for lunch just now! WOOHOO!
Can egg substitute work?
no clue. haven’t tried it
I made it tonight and it was great! I Added baby spinach and fresh basil, so it didn’t get the crunchy hard top but it was full of flavour. Will definitely be making this again. For the sugar free pizza sauce I used the “veggie packed pizza sauce” on a blog called “the best mom on the block” it worked perfectly!
OMIGOD!!! I just made this for dinner (I added green peppers and mushrooms)… yum!!! Thanks so much for your awesome blog!!
GREAT RECIPE! I added green pepper sauteed in with the sausage and onions. I bought some parm cheese to put on top, but after tasting it, I would rather save the cheese for something that needs it. This is perfect.
