Tasty Tuesday

Here is a super yummy way to enjoy the flavors of pizza but with a healthier spin.  Spaghetti squash is one of my favorite veggies and it's an awesome pasta substitution.  This spaghetti pie tastes just like pizza and you won't miss the cheese--promise!  It's one of our favorites!!!

ALMOST 5 INGREDIENT PIZZA SPAGHETTI PIE

Ingredients

• 1 large spaghetti squash (about 600 grams)
• 1 pound italian sausage
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup pizza sauce 
• 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.
