Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small to medium spaghetti squash
2 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Nonstick cooking spray
Desired sauce and toppings, such as pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Use a small paring knife to puncture the spaghetti squash a few times all over. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then use a large knife to slice the squash open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a fork and discard. Continue to use the fork to pull the flesh from its peel. (Leave the oven on.)
  • Wrap the squash in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out all the excess water. (There will be quite a bit of water in the squash. It is important to squeeze out as much as you can so that the crust will have a better texture.)
  • Whisk the eggs together with the shredded mozzarella and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the squash to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a 10-inch circle. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread the pizza sauce on the crust and top with the desired toppings. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.
