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 would like the WonderVeg Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer – Tri Blade Spiral Slicer – Zucchini Spaghetti Pasta Noodle Maker. It looks like it would be fun to use.
I would love the Seeds of Change Certified Organic Squash, Winter, Spaghetti – 3.3 grams, 20 Seeds Pack so that I could grow my own spaghetti squash in my garden! We are growing yellow summer squash right now 🙂
I want to try the Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta
I like pasta but I wouldn’t know if it would be good as a pizza crust lol. The linguini pasta with zucchini would be good. Sometimes zucchini and shrimp is good with pasta. Thank you very much.
zuchinni. But haha, there’s a spaghetti squash section. LOL
I like the Premium Vegetable Spiralizer Bundle. It looks nice.
I would love the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer. That would be a great way to process vegetables for the fantastic recipes I’ve been finding.
I’d want the Spiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle – Vegetable Spiralizer and Cutter. How great to be able to easily make spaghetti squash noodles!
I actually have this product, the Brieftons 5-Blade Spiralizer, I have not thought to use it with Spaghetti Squash yet, I have used it to make tasty, healthy Zucchini squash pasta, as well as made beautiful spiralized cucumbers for salad. I may have to try it soon for pasta out of Spaghetti squash next!
Mueller’s Hidden Veggie Pasta, Spaghetti, 12 Ounce sounds interesting

I would like to try the WonderVeg Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer . I’m always trying to get more veggies into our family’s diet and I like all the different blade shapes.
I would choose one of the packets of seeds because I would love to try and grow my own! We love to substitute squash for pasta.
Thanks for the chance to win!
