How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot
Spaghetti squash is a quick and easy noodle substitute that I absolutely love so I wanted to share how to cook Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot. When my mom is here visiting, I like to cook up a couple of these squashes so that we can enjoy them in place of spaghetti noodles. They are also yummy eaten with just butter, salt, and pepper.
I have cooked spaghetti squash in both my oven and microwave, so if you’ve done that and liked it, I think you will really appreciate the quick process when you use the Instant Pot or another brand electric pressure cooker. Keep in mind that the pressure cooker needs about 10-15 minutes to build up the pressure, 10 minutes to cook the squash, and a few minutes to release the pressure. So it’s still about a 30-minute process but a completely hands-off one!
Let me show you how easy it is to cook Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot.
