Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until tender.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil, then sauté the chopped onion until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Mix in the cooked meat, Marinara sauce, seasonings, half the Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
When the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape out the strands with a fork and reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Mix the spaghetti strands to the mixture,
Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Add any other toppings of your choice.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Top with shredded fresh basil and enjoy the pizza goodness!
