Place squash halves, cut side down, in 17.5 x 27.5-cm (7 x 11-inch) baking dish. Pour water around squash. Cover with wax paper and microwave on High until tender when pierced with knife, about 12 minutes. Turn squash, cut side up, to let cool slightly; then scrape out seeds with spoon.
Meanwhile, heat oil in large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 3–4 minutes. Add tomato sauce, beans, chili powder, and cumin; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Scrape spaghetti squash into strands by raking with fork. Spoon bean mixture evenly over squash and garnish with cilantro.
