Ingredients:
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 cup of water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon.
2. Pour one cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.
3. Place the spaghetti squash halves on top of the trivet, cut-side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to "sealing." Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes.
5. When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
6. While the spaghetti squash is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
7. Add the diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
8. When the spaghetti squash is done cooking, carefully remove it from the Instant Pot using tongs or a large spoon. Use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into strands.
9. Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the strands evenly with the sauce.
10. Serve the spaghetti squash with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
