This recipe is an oldie, but goodie from PaleOMG & I was certain I had shared it here before, but apparently I have not! Today, we change that! If you like pizza or pasta, you are sure to love this dish! So run, run I say, to the store to grab these ingredients!
I’ve adapted Juli’s original recipe for her Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie and have kind of made it my own, which you can do as well! You can easily add in any of your favorite pizza toppings – cheese (if you do dairy), basil, veggies, olives, mushrooms, etc.
I usually buy a large spaghetti squash and cook my Pizza Spaghetti casserole in a large 9×13 dish. It typically makes enough for 2 nights worth of dinners or at least 1 night and lunch the next day.
Hope you enjoy!!!
Pizza Spaghetti Pie
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1-1 1/2 cups pizza sauce (no sugar added, any marinara or pasta sauce works fine too)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- turkey pepperoni, as much as desired
- 3 eggs
- optional: any of your favorite pizza toppings
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds. I usually drizzle my spaghetti squash with some EVOO and salt & pepper. Then, lay squash cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 35 minutes or until the skin of the squash gives when you press on it.
- While the squash is cooking, brown your ground beef in a large pan over medium heat.
- Once squash is done cooking, use a fork to remove threads and place in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Add onion powder, ground beef, pizza sauce, dried basil, and turkey pepperoni to the dish and mix well with spaghetti squash threads
- Lastly, add eggs to the baking dish. Mix everything until you can no longer see the eggs.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350 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.
