Is there anything better than a casserole or pizza as the weather shifts and the leaves are falling?

This recipe has been a favorite in our house for YEARS!!! This was adapted from PaleOMG’s Pizza Spaghetti Pie (who doesn’t love pizza and pasta?!) … but from making it so many times, I created my own version that we absolutely love.

This Spaghetti Squash Pizza Casserole is grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free yet no one will know it (unless you tell them). Seriously, I have had so many people make this for their families and no one knows that it is a healthier option… and they are eating vegetables!

I love this spaghetti squash recipe because it perfectly satisfies your need/cravings for pizza and pasta. These are two foods that I personally missed as I was making the transition to a grain-free and more whole foods diet.

I hope you love this Spaghetti Squash Pizza Casserole as much as we do! Enjoy!

Recipe Adapted from PaleOMG

Ingredients

1 lb. Mild italian sausage (I use turkey)
1 medium size spaghetti squash
1 cup pizza sauce (no sugar added)
2 tsp. Pizza seasoning or dried basil
Salt & pepper to taste
3 eggs, whisked
1 container Kite Hill dairy free ricotta cheese
1 cup chopped red & green bell peppers (optional)
Note: you could also add mushrooms, olives, or any other pizza toppings you enjoy.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice spaghetti squash in half and place cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake squash for 30-40 minutes until the skin of the squash gives when you press on it. Remove from the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, then remove seeds. Using a fork, remove threads and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage & break into small pieces. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink. Drain grease from sausage and add to the baking dish with spaghetti squash.
Add pizza sauce, pizza seasoning, salt, pepper to the sausage & squash mixture and mix well. Add the whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together. Break the ricotta cheese into small chunks/pieces and distribute throughout your casserole.
Place in the 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 cool for 5 minutes before serving.
