HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH IN INSTANT POT?

This could not be easier. Simply wash the squash, slice in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and discard. Place both halves of squash on a trivet in your Instant Pot. Add water to the insert and close the lid. Set times to cook for 7 minutes, on HIGH pressure, on manual setting. When done, release pressure and carefully remove the squash from your Instant Pot. Using a fork, separate the flesh from the skin shell. It will look just like cooked spaghetti noodles. That’s it! The squash is ready to be used in a recipe or as a side dish or you can cool it completely and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

HOW TO SERVE COOKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH?
