Spaghetti SQUASH Pie



Growing Home

Linking up with Growing Home for Teach me Tuesdays



One of my favorite blogs is Mennonite girls can cook

I make and modify many of their recipes and it is where I found out about the Red Sea Place.

Recently a recipe for Spaghetti Pie was posted and it looked yummy.

However, I am not much for pasta anymore and immediately thought I wonder if it will work with Spaghetti Squash instead of noodles.

So I tried it.

I cut my Squash in half and cooked it for an hour at 350.


Then I mixed up the following.

Small onion chopped, 6 oz of cherry tomatoes chopped, 10 oz of tomato paste, 1T of garlic powder, 1T of dried oregano, 1 small zucchini chopped.
I cooked the onion and zucchini in 1/2 T of olive oil before I added it to the mix.
I also added a couple splashes of water for mixing purposes. 


Using a fork I scraped the squash skin clean.
I added 2 eggs and whisked the squash and egg until coated.
Became a little frothy but cooked away.


I spread the squash in the bottom of a pie plate.


Layered with 3/4 cup of cheddar jack cheese.


Spread the tomato mixture on top and baked for 20 minutes at 350.

After 20 minutes I added a 1/4 cup of the cheddar jack to the top and baked for 5 more minutes.

I did not get an after picture because of these rascals and a swim workout that was looming!


Eoin said "egsthchseh, ew grossty",


Bridgie said ''mmmmmm, more please", in sign of course,


and Erin tried a bite of squash and zucchini separately of course and said 
"no, thank you"

And Jerry loved it.

I liked it too but will play around with the sauce so that it absorbs into some of the squash next time.

Was very filling after the swim too!
