Spaghetti Squash  in the  Instant Pot

WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE?

Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash cooks quickly and tastes great with butter or spaghetti sauce served over top! Enjoy the fast cook time in your Instant Pot.

INGREDIENTS

 1 spaghetti squash

STEP 1

Cut the squash in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Use a paring knife or spoon to scoop out the seeds from the centers of the halves.

STEP 2

Pour 1 1/2 cups water into the Instant Pot and place trivet in pot. Add the squash to the pot, cut sides up.

Place the cover on the pot and set timer to 8 minutes on high pressure. It will take the IP around 13 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.

STEP 3

When cooking time is done, do a quick release. When the float valve drops, remove the cover and carefully remove the squash halves.

STEP 4

Use a fork to “shred” the flesh of the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Mix in a few pats of butter and serve!

STEP 5

Parmesan cheese sprinkled over top tastes great, too.
