Recipe View Return the filled squash halves to the preheated oven and bake until the Parmesan cheese is melted and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (20 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of ricotta cheese between the squash and sauce.
Fresh basil can be used instead of dried; simply increase the amount to 2 tablespoons, and add it towards the end of the sauce simmering time.
Feel free to customize the cheeses to your preference. Provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses would also work well.
If you don’t have stewed tomatoes, you can use crushed tomatoes with a pinch of sugar and a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
To save time, you can microwave the squash halves instead of baking them. Microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, then let cool before handling.
