Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 c. chopped pepperoni
2 c. marinara
2 c. shredded mozzarella
¼ c. chopped parsley

Loosen spaghetti strands using a fork. Add ½ cup marinara, ¼ cup mozzarella, and ¼ cup crispy pepperoni to each baked squash half. Mix filling with a fork and top with ¼ cup more mozzarella and parsley. Return to baking sheet.
Broil until cheese is melted and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
