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.)

I never thought to try spaghetti squash to make a pizza crust. It makes for a great low carb meal.

I like the Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti because it would make getting my kids to eat some more veggies much easier!
If I had to choose, I’d go with the zucchini. Actually I wouldn’t try any. Sweet potato pasta sauce?
I would love to get Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti, 12 Ounce (Pack of 6). I haven’t tried the hidden veggie kind and we can always use more veggie intake in our diet.
I would like to purchase the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle – Vegetable Spiralizer and Cutter – Zucchini Pasta Noodle Spaghetti Maker. The main item I want it the peeler – it’s so hard to use my regular peeler or a knife (the knife always scares me to death!). I would also like a spiralizer so that I can make vegetable spaghetti noodles.
I am liking this Premium Vegetable Spiralizer Bundle – Spiral Slicer – Best Veggie, Zucchini Spaghetti Pasta Noodle Maker – Black
I tried to grow yellow squash a couple of years ago with no luck but i haven’t tried spaghetti squash. I didn’t realize that Amazon had so many seed choices, i love it! I just added the Pampered Chef Veggie Spiralizer to my Christmas list too! My kiddos are big veggie eaters, i see them all the time in the garden eating away.
I would like to get the Spaghetti Squash Seeds – Non GMO – Delicious Healthy Winter Squash (100+ seeds) so I could grow my own spaghetti squash.
I would choose the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle – Vegetable Spiralizer and Cutter – Zucchini Pasta Noodle Spaghetti Maker. This would make the preparation process so simple. My wife and daughters would love something like this.

Natalia’s Sweet Potato Tomato Sauce. That would go great with the squash.
I like the muellers pasta with hidden veggies–great for kids
I would like to try the zucchini linguine pasta because every year we get a big crop from the garden.
I would like to get the 4 g Packet – Organic, Heirloom, Non-GMO – Vegetable Gardening Seed, because I want to try growing spaghetti squash.
