Spread sausages out so they are not on top of each other. Pour the can of tomato sauce over the sausages. Top with onions, garlic, and sprinkle seasoning over the top. Add 1/3 cup of water. If you want a thicker sauce, do not add the water.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil after 25 minutes and add the yellow squash into pockets within the dish and let bake for an additional 7-10 minutes.
