I love spaghetti squash, it is such a delicious base for any meal. I used to always roast it in the oven but then I tried it in my Instant Pot and it was amazing! It cooks so quickly and has the perfect texture. You can put a whole squash in (depending on the size) or cut it in half. I have tried it both ways and it comes out perfectly either way.

For a Whole Squash:
  1. Pour 1 cup of water in the base of the Instant Pot and then place the metal trivet in the bottom
  2. Pierce the squash with a sharp knife, two-three slits
  3. Place the whole squash on top of the trivet, close the lid and seal the steam valve
  4. Set to manual pressure and time for 20 minutes
  5. When the timer goes off, quick release the steam, remove the squash and cut in half. Remove the seeds and shred squash with a fork
