Preheat oven to 350ºF. Halve squash lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut sides down, in a large baking dish and prick skin all over with a fork. Bake until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet; sauté onion and garlic for 1 minute. Add broccoli and peppers; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in reserved tomato juice, tomato paste and water; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and basil; simmer for 1 minute more.
Using a fork, carefully rake stringy squash pulp from shell, separating it into spaghetti-like strands. Place about 1 1/2 cups of squash on each of 4 plates and top each with about 1 1/2 cups of sauce.
