PRESSURE-COOKER SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATOES

Pressure-Cooker Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes image

This squash is perfect as a side dish, or top it with canned tuna to serve it as an entree. I use my own home-canned tomatoes for the best flavor. The dish is easy, tasty and light! -Carol Chase, Sioux City, Iowa
