Instructions

Place a steamer basket in your pressure cooker, add 1 cup of water, and place the squash halves in the basket. Seal pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes. Release pressure, uncover, and allow the squash to cool until you can handle it comfortably. Using a fork, scrape out the strands of “spaghetti.” It may take a little effort and going “against the grain.”
