Cut each squash in half from top to bottom. Scoop out the flesh from the center with the tip of a spoon.

Brown the sausage over medium heat, stir in onion, pepper, eggplant and basil. Add salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables have softened. Stir together breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, cheeses and parsley in a medium bowl. Stir into warm sausage mixture.
