Author: Shelley Zurek
Recipe type: Pizza
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 1 crust
Ingredients
- For PIzza Crust
- One large Spaghetti Squash
- water
- One egg, beaten
- ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tbs. Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with spoon. In a 13 x 9" glass baking pan, place both halves flesh side down. Fill pan with water ½" deep (this will help to steam the squash). Cook in microwave, on high for 15 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes after removing.
- Remove spaghetti squash from baking pan. Use fork to pull out the strands of spaghetti squash (the squash will come out in long spaghetti like strands) and place in a mixing bowl. Discard squash outer layer. Let strands cool slightly.
- Into a mixing bowl, measure out 3½ cups of spaghetti squash per pizza crust (you will probably only have enough for one pizza, set the remainder aside for another great dish).
- Pile the half the spaghetti squash into a cheesecloth or thin dish towel, twist cloth to form a closed sack and squeeze out all water. Discard water. Repeat with the remaining half. The more moisture you get out, the more crust-like the pizza crust will be. Return squash to mixing bowl.
- Add beaten egg, the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to the spaghetti squash. Stir together.
- Press squash mixture in a thin, even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into an approximate 10-inch circle.
- Bake at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully flip, and cook for another 10 minutes. ( Tip: The best way I discovered to flip the spaghetti squash crust was to line another pan with parchment paper. Place it over top of pizza crust, and flip the pizza crust into the new pan. You can also use a spatula but you definitely risk breaking the crust.)

This is not something that I plan to go right out and try.
I have heard of cauliflower crust but never spaghetti squash. This crust looks like it browns up a bit more so I am eager to try this.
This looks sooo good!
This food looks yummy
Is the recipe still not up? I don’t mean that as a criticism, I just can’t find it and don’t want to miss it (and have been guilty for not seeing what’s right in front of me, so I need to ask!).
Sorry Jennifer, It will be done in the next few days and I will reply to you again. Shelley
This spaghetti Squash Pizza Crust looks so good. I still want to try this. So much healthier then the Traditional Pizza Crust. I Normally don’t like squash hopefully I will as a Pizza Crust! Thank you again for sharing this Healthier Pizza Crust Recipe.
I would get the fresh whole spaghetti squash because I love to make spaghetti with it.
I would choose the Barilla Pasta because its inexpensive to go through Prime Pantry.
here again i have to go against the grain because it all makes me not want to spend so much time on such a unattractive project yuck
I would choose the Mueller Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti. Mueller products are great and this sounds like a great way to get more veggies.
I’m waiting for someone to make me fall in love with spaghetti squash, so I think the veggie spaghetti is the best bet for me!
i’d also love a spiralizer–my daughter eats ANY veggie w that
Barilla Pasta, Thin Spaghetti, 16 Ounce it’s my favorite brand of pasta.
I like the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle – Vegetable Spiralizer and Cutter – Zucchini Pasta Noodle Spaghetti Maker. I’ve always wanted to try a apiralizer and make sweet potato noodle dishes.
I’d pick out the Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti, 12 Ounce (Pack of 6) since I love spaghetti and it sounds like a good way to combine the nutrients of vegetables with spaghetti.
I would choose the Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti, 12 Ounce (Pack of 6) because it seems like a good way to get extra veggies in my diet.
