If you have been following me, you know how much I love Spaghetti Squash! When I decided to go Paleo then AIP over 6 years ago, giving up pasta was really hard for me. Spaghetti squash has become a staple in our house. We have it at least once every 2 weeks, sometimes every week.

I wrote a post a while back on how to cook it the traditional way. Well, I was pressed for time recently & decided to cook one in my Instant Pot.

I will never cook one the old fashion way again! Easy Peasy! 

Ingredients:

• 1 Spaghetti Squash
• 1 c. water

Tools:

• Instant Pot

Directions:

• Put 1 c. water in the bottom of the Instant Pot
• Put in the steam rack that comes with the Instant Pot
• Put the whole Spaghetti Squash on the steam rack
• Put the lid on & seal
• Set to manual for 20 min.
• When done, release pressure manually
• Let cool for a few minutes
• Remove spaghetti squash (I use the handles for the steam basket & lift out onto a plate)
• Let cool until able to cut in half
• Remove seeds
• take fork & rake spaghetti squash from the sides into a bowl

Serve with your favorite sauce or suggestions below.

Serving Suggestions:

• Italian Spaghetti Squash
