Notes
*You can cook it ahead of time and keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. My preferred method is to use a sharp knife and cut the spaghetti squash in half down the middle. Pour approximately 1.5 cups of water into the 6-quart instant pot and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Once it’s done, quick release the pressure and test with a fork. You want it tender, and ‘al dente’ as it will cook longer in a skillet. Some squash is denser than others so cook time will vary. You may need to cook each half separately. Let it cool enough to handle, then scoop the seeds out of each half and discard. Using a fork, shred the spaghetti out of their shells. You can keep the shells to use as serving bowls as pictured.
