Combine all of the delicious flavors of Summer in this recipe for Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with our Red Pepper Sauce! 

Even though we did this recipe in the oven... Did you know you can cook a spaghetti squash in the InstantPot pressure cooker in just 20 minutes? Add the trivet and 1 cup of water to your pressure cooker. Place the halved and seeded squash halves in the pressure cooker, seal, and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure. After 7 minutes of cooking, quick release the steam and carefully remove the squash.
