Preparation
Step 1
I absolutely love spaghetti squash. The only problem is that it takes FOREVER to cook in the oven. Who’s with me? Well, I just got my pressure cooker, and now I can make spaghetti squash in about 10 minutes, instead of the typical hour (15 minutes to pre-heat the oven and another 45 to bake). That means I can get dinner out in about 15 minutes. Win!
Have you tried an Instant Pot pressure cooker yet? I made pork carnitas from a frozen pork loin in 40 minutes. Crazy, right? I love it because it takes the guesswork out of pressure cooking with an easy-to-use interface. Plus, you can use it to make so many things. It can be used as a rice cooker, yogurt maker, slow cooker and so much more. So if you haven’t tried it yet, check it out.
DIRECTIONS:
Cut spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Open the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
Stack the spaghetti squash on top of each other, cut-side up.
Close the lid and make sure the vent on the top of the lid is closed.
Open the lid and test the spaghetti squash. Fork to turn squash into spaghetti-like noodles. Take a bite to test that it's done. You can always cook for another 1-2 minutes on high pressure if needed.
