For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes during the sautéing process. Garnish with additional fresh basil and a dusting of Parmesan or Romano cheese for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. If you prefer a softer spaghetti squash, increase the pressure cooking time by a minute or two.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPlace spaghetti squash, cut-sides down, on a steaming rack inside the Instant Pot. Add water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure and set the timer for 7 minutes. (Allow 10-15 minutes for pressure to build)
02
StepCarefully release pressure using the quick-release method (about 5 minutes). Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer squash to a plate and scrape flesh into spaghetti strands with a fork. Empty, rinse, and dry the Instant Pot.
03
StepSelect Saute function. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the hot pot. Add onion, bell pepper, carrot, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is just tender (about 4 minutes). Add zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest; saute until zucchini is tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
04
StepAdd cooked spaghetti squash strands, basil, and parsley to the pot. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute until combined (about 2 minutes more).

Jun 26, 2025I found that 7 minutes was a little too long for my spaghetti squash and it came out a bit mushy. Next time, I'll try 5 minutes.
