Don’t be upsetti, eat some spaghetti!! Spaghetti squash, that is–hehe I fooled you. But wait, don’t leave yet, this is actually REALLY GOOD! Yes it’s healthy (and paleo too!), but I promise you won’t regret it.
Pizza Spaghetti Pie (try saying that 5x fast!)
Yield: 3-4 servings
Prep Time: 25 mins | Cook Time: 1 hour | Total Time: 1 hour 25 mins
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 1 pound Italian sausage (I use turkey-see below)
- 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, cheese, etc.) I usually add green pepper or olives!
DIRECTIONS:
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’s broken into pieces.
Add pizza sauce, dried basil and salt and pepper to pan and mix well.
Add sausage mixture to the 8×8 dish and mix well with the 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.
