Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie ...

I love to bake, cooking - not so much.  So, I'm always trying to find new recipes that might peak my interest.  When a friend on Instagram put together a sign up for her Paleo meal planning for the week, I knew it was a must!

Tonight I tried a new recipe using one of our favorite things - Spaghetti Squash!  After finishing dinner the hubs proclaimed, "Add that one to the rotation!".  So, it's a keeper for sure!

Almost 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie

What You'll Need:

1 Large Spaghetti Squash

1 poud Italian Sausage (I used pork sausage)

1/2 Yellow Onion, diced

1 cup pizza sauce (No sugar added if you can)

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt & Pepper, to taste

3 eggs, whisked

(Optional is any additions you like with pizza - veggies, etc.  I didn't add anything extra this first time)

The Process:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 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 head to 350 degrees.

3. Once squash is done cooking (typically an hour total cook time), remove threads and place in an 8x8 greased baking dish.

4. 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.

5. Add pizza sauce, dried basil, and salt & pepper to the pan and mix well.

6. Add sausage mixture to the 8x8 dish and mix well with the spaghetti squash threads.

7. Lastly, add whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.

8. 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.

9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

ENJOY!
