I made this and we loved it! Great Weight Watcher meal! Am looking forward to having it again. The ease of fixing the perfect spaghetti squash is a game changer. Thanks for providing this recipe.

In reply to Kelly. It is set to sealed (the "steam" icon" and the cooking time is set to 10 minutes on manual (high pressure).

Hello, the wording is kind of confusing, my instant pot has both “steam” and “manual” buttons. Do you just set the valve to “sealed” and set manual cooking for 10 minutes? My valve does not have a “steam” setting. It’s only sealed or vented. Thank you!

In reply to Cheryl Thompson. I have successfully frozen it. Just put it in a resealable plastic bag and flatten out thinly. Once frozen the required amount can be snapped off when you want to use it.

In reply to Cheryl Thompson. I've never froze it before, but I know others have done it successfully.

Can you freeze cooked spaghetti squash to use later? I'm the only one eating it and can't use it all at once.

In reply to HazelP.. The brand I have is the Instant Pot. I bought it off Amazon. I have a big regular pressure cooker too, but have never used it. I got it to do canning, but still haven't tried it out.

Love, love, love the idea of pressure cooking spaghetti squash! It takes an eon in the oven...cut in half in the middle. I choose smaller rather than bigger. I'd like to know what brand of instant pot you both have; it's always hard for me to decide which brand, and I've often been disappointed with new purchases (like slow cookers). Meanwhile, I have a terrific pressure cooker; I was scared to death of my mothers and never had one until about 10 years ago. I've found that nothing can beat pressure cooking for development of deep and wonderful flavors in stews, chilis, etc., and that it's the only thing that does a great job on very dense (fibrous but nutritious) veggies like beets. Where does one encounter the instant pot? I researched my pressure cooker online then purchased at Sears.

I have owned an instant pot for over a year and LOVE it! The more you work with it the more you will be figuring out short cuts to make the a quick dinner on the most hetic days. I usually use the Saute mode to get the pot hot and this will help reduce the time it takes to build pressure. I have also learned it is very important to allow a Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for any meat that you cook in it which somehow makes it more tender. Please post more recipies with the Instant Pot!
