This Instant Pot Tomato Basil Spaghetti Squash recipe is mainly vegetables! It’s healthy, flavorful, filling, and gluten-free. Don’t worry if you don’t have an Instant Pot, I’ve got you covered! You can buy an Instant Pot as I have here. Or you can cook your spaghetti squash in the microwave with this recipe of mine and do the sauteeing on the stove.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Sliced fresh basil
1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Whipped cream cheese
1/8 tsp. Sea salt
1 cup Sliced grape tomatoes
1 tsp. Minced garlic
1/2 tbsp. Olive oil
1 cup Water
1 Spaghetti squash

Method

01

Cut the spaghetti squash into rings and remove the seeds and stringy pulp. You can soften the spaghetti squash in the microwave for 2-3 minutes before cutting it.
02

Put the rack into the Instant Pot (this is the one I use) and add one cup of water. Then, add the spaghetti squash rings.
03

Add the cover and turn the vent to sealing. Press Pressure Cook on high pressure (or Manual on some Instant Pots) and set the timer for 8 minutes.
04

Once it’s finished cooking, do a quick pressure release. Open the lid and remove the cooked spaghetti squash. Use a fork to remove the strands of spaghetti squash.
05

Set the Instant Pot to saute and allow it to heat up. Add the olive oil and minced garlic. Saute for a couple of minutes. Add the sliced grape tomatoes and saute until softened.
06

Add the cooked spaghetti squash and stir to coat with the cooked tomatoes. Add the whipped cream cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. Toss or stir to combine.
