Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and place face down on the sheet pan. Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the seeds from the squash and scrape the flesh away from the skin with a fork to make strands, keeping the squash shell intact. Place each squash shell cut side up on the sheet pan.
- Add the squash strands to a large bowl. Add the sausage, marinara sauce, black pepper, and oregano and toss until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the squash shells.
- Top each squash half with 2 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cut each squash shell in half to serve.
