Ingredients
  

  • 1 small spaghetti squash 1-2 pounds
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • Instant Pot or other Pressure Cooker

Method
 

  1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Place a metal rack into the bottom of an instant pot and add 1 cup of water to the bottom. Set the spaghetti squash halves cut side up on the metal rack.
  3. Seal the Instant Pot and cook for 7 minutes at high pressure. When time is up, use the quick release to remove the pressure. Remove the lid and allow the squash to cool slightly to make it easier to handle.
  4. Carefully remove the still warm spaghetti squash and use a fork to shred it. Place into a small bowl.
  5. To the bowl add the butter, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Toss together until the butter has completely melted.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
