Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Halve the spaghetti squash crosswise (for longer strands) and scoop out the seeds.
Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
In a separate metal baking pan, combine your tomato sauce ingredients (like crushed tomatoes and garlic) to roast at the same time as the squash.
Roast the squash and sauce until the squash is tender, approximately 45–60 minutes.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into long, noodle-like strands.
Combine the squash strands with the roasted tomato sauce in the baking pan, tossing to coat thoroughly.
Top the mixture with a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, browned, and bubbly, about 10–15 minutes.
Serve hot, optionally with bread and a green salad.
