Serves 4

2 large spaghetti squash, halved
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup (or more) shredded fresh basil

Preheat the oven to 400°.
On a large baking sheet, rub insides of spaghetti squash with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Bake until tender, 55 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and heat the broiler.
Once cool enough to handle, shred the spaghetti squash with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned. Season with salt and pepper and mix in the tomato sauce and fresh basil.
Divide the tomato/sausage/basil mixture between the halves.
Mix the two cheeses together and top with the cheese mixture.
Broil until the cheese is browned and the squash is warmed through, 4 to 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
