- Cut both spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Oil the halves and season with salt and pepper.

- While the squash bakes, prepare the filling. Place the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Once cooked, remove from pan.
- Dice the onion and peppers and add to the pan. Saute until the veggies are soft.

- When the squash is done, use a fork to fluff up the squash. It will flake apart and look like spaghetti! Top with the filling; divide among the squash halves and top with shredded cheese.
- Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- Serve warm.
