I have been playing around with spaghetti squash a lot lately. While I never used to care for, I now really like it. I found out that it’s all in the ingredients you use with it because spaghetti squash is a bit bland. The other day I remembered a spaghetti pizza I used to devour at the local deli when I was younger. I decided I could recreate that and make it low carb, so I made this skillet spaghetti squash pizza . I LOVED IT! It was super easy to make as well as gluten free and low carb (only 4.4g net carbs per piece).

Making Skillet Pizza

I found a recipe for the traditional spaghetti pizza in which they made it in the skillet so I tried that and was pleased. It seemed easier than making it in the oven and was pretty quick. You could also make this in a baking dish in the oven but I haven’t tried that. I like that in the skillet it gets more crisp because you brown both sides before putting on the toppings.

Skillet Spaghetti Squash Pizza Recipe

The base of this pizza is spaghetti squash mixed with eggs and cheese. You mix this up in a large bowl and then you place in a medium sized skillet that you have oiled. Brown on the stove and then flip to do the other side. Then you add your sauce, cheese and toppings. I used pepperoni but you can use any toppings you want. Place it under the broiler to brown. This recipe makes two skillet pizzas. If you used a large skillet it would be hard to flip I think. Mine was a 10″ skillet.

Notes About Spaghetti Squash Pizza

  • First off you need to cook your spaghetti squash. I like to use the Instant Pot in which I halve two squashes and add to the pot with 1 cup of water. Then I press the manual button for 5 minutes and then quick release the pressure. Or you can cook in the microwave for 10-12 minutes until for tender. You then need to scrape out the insides to make the “spaghetti”. 
  • I used Aldi brand Specially Select marinara sauce because it’s relatively low carb. A ½ cup only has 5g net carbs. You can use whatever you want but if watching your carbs check the label of your sauce.
  • I used pepperoni (also from Aldi) for my topping but again if counting carbs watch what the carbs of your toppings.
  • This recipe made 2 medium sized pizzas. The pieces of each were big so if you want to half this recipe it would have 4 servings. I made a medium size because it was easier to flip.
  • To flip the pizza, I slide it onto a plate, then placed the pan over the plate and flipped again. Make sure you grease the pan first with the 1 tablespoon of oil or use cooking spray.

I really liked this recipe and would definitely make it again and again and again. If you too are a fan of spaghetti squash, my low carb coconut basil shrimp spaghetti squash is also a REALLY good low carb recipe to try. As always, enjoy and the nutritional information for 1 pieces of pizza is:

169 cals / 12.7g fat / 5.5g carbs / 1.1g fiber / 8.7g protein = 4.4g net carbs

And if you want to try something really cool, try this keto chicken pizza crust that my friend Jasmine made. Looks fabulous!!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup marinara sauce (I used Aldi)
  • 18 slices pepperoni
  • 3 cups spaghetti squash, cooked and shredded

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the spaghetti squash, eggs, Parmesan cheese and ½ cup mozzarella cheese.

  2. Heat up a medium skillet and add oil. Turn up the heat to medium high. When the oil is sizzling, turn the heat down to medium and add half of the spaghetti mixture. Press it neatly in the pan to take up all the space.

  3. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is nice and browned but not burnt. Slide the pizza onto a plate. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and flip the pizza back into the pan. 

  4. Cook for about 5 more minutes, then take off the stove. Spread sauce over top, sprinkle remaining cheese and add pepperoni (if using).

  5. Place under the broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking. 

  6. Repeat with the remaining spaghetti mixture to make the second pizza.

  7. Let pizza cool before cutting and eating.

    I didn’t follow your exact directions but will do so next time around. I made it in my 13” cast iron skillet and put it in the oven at 400 degrees. I did need to bake it for about 45 minutes. I had a small amount leftover and made a flatbread in the oven. I also added a little basil, oregano and a dash of garlic salt to both.
    I was able to scrap it off the bottom of the pan and turn it over but it didn’t have the crunch I love.
    It did taste really good and my husband enjoyed it although he is not on the keto plan.
    I will definitely be making it again.

      Hi Amy, I’m glad you liked it! I need to make this again as I haven’t in a long time. Then I can give you some pointers on how to get it nice and crunchy. I too love it when it’s nice and crunchy. 🙂 Thanks for coming back to comment and rate this recipe. I really appreciate it!

    This was a great recipe, but I recommend you leave the mozzarella cheese out of the “dough.” Cheese in a frying pan burns. Even cooked at low temp. I made it again with just the egg and Parmesan cheese and fried it on very low heat in only the pan spray. Much, much better!

      Hi Barb, I’m one of those people who likes burnt cheese but I can totally see your point. Thanks for coming back to share your experience and tips. I’m sure many people will benefit from it.

    I’m making this now and I’m sure it’ll be tasty. I’ve followed your directions but please post a video of how you got it to slide out the skillet! I put oil in it but there was no sliding, I ended up removing it in pieces with a spatula and piecing back together turned over in the skillet.

      Hi Lisa, next time I make this I will try to video how I did it. Just some thoughts…. you have to use a non stick skillet to begin with. Maybe try both spraying it with cooking spray and using the oil. Loosen the edges with a spatula and it should slide onto the plate. Also it might depend on what size of pan you use and how thick the “crust” is. Mine was a 10 inch skillet and you can see the crust is pretty thin. Hope that helps and sorry you had trouble.

    I love this idea. We do enjoy our pizza and what a great way to make it low calorie. Spaghetti squash is going to be plentiful and I’ll be saving this recipe to make for the family. You give the squash lots of flavor so it’s anything but bland.

      Yes I find spaghetti squash rather bland but that’s a good thing. It means you can add just about any flavor to it!

        Mine didn’t turn out crunchy either, more like a casserole lol. But it is absolutely my favorite keto meal I’ve made yet!! Thank you for posting it ❤️

          Hi Julie, sorry it didn’t get as crunchy has you would have liked. I think if you use a nice hot skillet and get the oil sizzling before you put in the squash, it should get crunchy on the bottom. You could cook it on the stove for a few minutes longer too. Glad you liked it anyway.

    Oh this is such a cool idea. I love spaghetti squash, but my family doesn’t feel quite the same way. This is the neatest way to get creative (and healthier) with a pizza!
