Preheat oven to 400F. Cut squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Brush the inside of both halves with avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the 2 halves cut side down in a Pyrex with about 1 in of water (covering the bottom of the spaghetti squash).
Roast the squash until tender, about 45 min-1 hour. Allow several minutes to cool.
Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash to create a spaghetti-like texture.
Lightly spray a casserole dish with avocado oil cooking spray to coat.
In a large bowl, combine the cheeses, egg, and 1 tsp salt. Add the spaghetti squash and mix well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the cheese is golden, about 25 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Optional: to make it taste more like a baked ziti, add some marinara sauce.
