Paleo Spaghetti Squash Pie

This paleo spaghetti squash pie combines meat, veggies, and loads of flavor for a hearty dish you can feel good about placing on the dinner table.

Paleo Spaghetti Squash Pie

Even my pickiest eater, who strongly dislikes spaghetti squash and most vegetables in general, will eat this for dinner without (much) complaint.  That’s a win in my book!

As a mom, I love that this pie is packed with veggies.  As carnivores, my family loves that it’s packed with meat.  We all love the amazing flavor, and the stick-to-your-ribs heartiness of this one-dish meal.

About the ingredients

Of course, I recommend sourcing pastured meats from local farms.  The same goes for the veggies: whenever possible, I encourage you to buy from local growers who follow organic practices.

Or maybe you’ll try your hand at growing some of these ingredients yourself!  In fact, this hearty dish came out of my own quest to create family meals from homegrown ingredients.

My family and I get a real kick out of growing our own food.  There is nothing quite like sitting down to a 100% homegrown meal.

But regardless of where your ingredients come from–your backyard, the farmer’s market, or the grocery store–I hope your family enjoys this paleo spaghetti squash pie as much as mine does.

About the pictures

Several astute readers have noticed that the picture of my spaghetti squash pie does not match my instructions.  You guys are good!  Here’s what happened…

I’d always made this pie by mixing the ingredients together, as indicated by my instructions below.  However, on the day I’d planned to photograph the pie for this blog post, I decided to try layering the ingredients instead, with the squash on the bottom like a crust.

Big mistake: I didn’t like it at all!  Mixing the ingredients together is much better.  I debated about whether to use the photos because I didn’t want to confuse anyone, but Greg, my husband, suggested that no one would notice.  Haha.  Kudos to you who did notice!

Maybe all the stars will align the next time I make this spaghetti squash pie, and I’ll be able to photograph it all over again, with the ingredients mixed together.  Until then, please follow the instructions and don’t worry if your pie doesn’t look like my pie in the photos.

Notes

*This recipe is pretty loose, so feel free to use more squash if your family loves it, or less squash if they don’t.
