Ingredients

1 cup water
1 spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Parsley (for topping)

Steps:

Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the instant pot and place the steamer rack on top.
Slice the spaghetti squash in half and scoop the seeds out of the center. Place the spaghetti squash on top of the steamer rack.
Replace the lid on the instant pot and turn valve to SEALING. Press MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on HIGH PRESSURE and set timer for 7 minutes.
When the timer is finished, turn the valve to VENTING to quick release the pressure. Squash should be tender, but not mushy.
Remove the squash from the instant pot. Use the tines of the fork to separate the cooked strands from the hard shell.
Remove the excess water from the instant pot insert and press the SAUTE button. Add oil and garlic to the instant pot and stir until fragrant. Add strands of spaghetti squash back to the pot, along with parmesan cheese. Stir until heated through and cheese is melted. Remove from instant pot and garnish with parsley.
