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

- 3 eggs, whisked

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.

- 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.

- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

My son just came back for 3rds!!
Made this for dinner. Used extra sauce. It was amazing! Tastes like there is cheese in it! Can’t wait to have leftovers!
Thank you for another amazing comfort food recipe!
This was dinner tonight. I used package chicken sausage and it was great!
Hubby and I did a binge watching of Orange is the new black last month – great show
Amazing, I ate this last night right after reading the recipe, and then I ate it for lunch and dinner today and can’t wait to eat it again tomorrow. Yummy.
Does this taste like spaghetti squash? I’ve tried spaghetti squash Mac and cheese and couldn’t eat it. The texture of the squash was way too crunchy and was just a weird flavor. Lol but this looks so good that I want to try it…
if it was crunchy, it’s because you didn’t cook it long enough…
Wow, Juli, this is amazeballs. My college age son just raved about it. Said it was one of the best meals I have ever made. I used 2 spaghetti squash and a jar of sugar free marinara sauce and made it in a 9×13 dish. Topped it with mozzarella. We will def make this one again!
Wow so I’ve made something very similar to this half dozen times, however it was always running. I love love love love the addition of the eggs and bet that will help tons, THANKS!
Made this tonight! It was delish! I baked for an hour but it didn’t have the crust I was looking for. I couldn’t wait any longer so I turned on my broiler for a few min. Worked great! Had to wrap it up and put it away before I ate the entire thing. Thanks for another great recipe !!!
You mentioned zucchini would work but to get rid of extra fluid. How would you do that? Boil first then bake?
shock them with salt makes them sweat the fluid out then rinse and try them in paper towl
