Pizza Spaghetti Pie

This is one of those recipes that I couldn't wait to try after I read the countless positive reviews about it.  It seemed so simple and I already had the ingredients on hand.  I have really been looking for more dinner ideas lately and was tired of making the same things week after week.  My son is always nervous about trying a new dish but I think I talked it up so much that he couldn't wait for it to cool down before taking his first bite.  I was thrilled when he enjoyed it as much as I did!  My poor husband barely had any left to eat when he arrived home from work.  It's safe to say that this recipe is making our normal rotation!  It amazed me that it has no cheese.  It even looks like it has cheese in it! It smells and tasted so much like lasagna and pizza at the same time. Craziness.  But, you can add in pepperoni if you want more of a pizza taste.  I usually swap out the ground sausage for turkey and it is fantastic. 

Ingredients:

1 large spaghetti squash (about 600 grams)

1 pound italian sausage (or ground beef or turkey)

½ 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:

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 heat to 350 degrees.
3. Once squash is done cooking, 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 and pepper to the pan and mix well.
6. Add sausage mixture to the 8x8 dish and mix well with 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
