Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 lb spaghetti squash, cut lengthwise & seeded
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley

Instructions

  • Place the metal trivet in in your Instant Pot with the handles side up. Add in the water.
  • Place the spaghetti squash cut side up on the trivet. Close the lid and seal the valve.
  • Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
  • Remove the spaghetti squash from the Instant Pot and set aside. Pour out the water and wipe the Instant Pot dry.
  • Set the Instant Pot to "saute" and add in the butter and oil. Once the butter is melted, add in the garlic, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for around 2 minutes.
  • Turn off the Instant Pot. Using a fork, remove the spaghetti squash strands into the Instant Pot. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. Serve immediately.
