Pizza Spaghetti Squash is a baked spaghetti squash casserole recipe that includes pizza sauce, cheese and toppings for a low carb recipe for pizza!
Another day, another spaghetti squash recipe.
I was so excited that one of my top recipes for 2017 is my Sausage and Peppers Spaghetti Squash Casserole. Spaghetti squash is one of my favorite low-carb alternatives to my favorite food (pasta), so I love making spaghetti squash casserole that reminds me of the pasta bakes my mom used to make.
I loved the sausage and peppers version so much that I made this Pizza Spaghetti Squash – it’s a very similar recipe that uses pizza toppings as a healthier alternative to a big cheesy pizza pie.
This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti squash. If I have a small amount of spaghetti squash leftover from a previous recipe, I halve this recipe and make the casseroles in individual bowls to serve 1 or 2.
I also love that Pizza Spaghetti Squash is super customizable – you can load it up with any toppings you like. Another reason I love baking this in individual bowls is that you can change up the toppings on each bowl according to what everyone likes.
You can also choose to mix in your toppings with the spaghetti squash mixture instead of just layering them on top – this packs even more vegetables into the dish.
The reason for the eggs in this recipe is that it binds the spaghetti squash together to make it into a thicker casserole texture that you can easily cut into squares or slices. You can definitely choose not to use the eggs if you don’t mind the texture.
Next time you’re looking for a low carb recipe that’s a bit lighter than normal pizza, give this Pizza Spaghetti Squash a try! It’s a healthy casserole recipe the whole family is sure to love.
