Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Pierce squash halves several times with a fork. Rub insides with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange squash, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool squash slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until sausage is browned and onion and bell pepper are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 5

Shred squash flesh with a fork; add to skillet. Cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully stir in pesto and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before serving.
