1. Preheat
   the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut
   the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash
   cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender when poked
   with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes.
3. While
   the squash is roasting, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over
   medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until
   translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add in the garlic, oregano, and basil and
   cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and
   bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until
   slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Season with salt.
4. When
   the squash is done roasting, remove it from the oven and flip it cut-side
   up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fill each squash with tomato sauce and
   top with cheese.
5. Roast
   for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish
   with basil.
