Angie’s Notes
- Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for regular pasta – it has a very neutral flavor
- Add toppings to your meal – pasta sauce, alfredo or shredded cheese are all tasty ideas!
Why I Love This Recipe
Making pressure cooked spaghetti squash is a fast and easy way to get a vegan meal on the table with little effort. Instead of staying in the kitchen while this cooks, I can do other things – like think of series for my blog.
Another reason to love this recipe is that it’s very versatile. Spaghetti squash has a very neutral taste, meaning it pairs well with many toppings. I love to top my spaghetti squash with a homemade pasta sauce! I have also topped this with alfredo, Italian sausage and cheese – all great options.
Furthermore, using a pressure cooker means I don’t have to add any oil, so I can keep this dish low fat. I do try to watch my fat intake, and I love having multiple low fat and tasty options to choose from! Did I mention how tender the squash is – once I top with sauce, I can’t tell it’s not pasta.

There’s No Wrong Way To Cut Spaghetti Squash
While there isn’t a wrong way to cut spaghetti squash, I do have a preferred way to cut it. Whenever I cut spaghetti squash, I cut it lengthwise – this way I get longer “noodles”. For example, if you cut the spaghetti squash in half width wise, you would have smaller noodles. Alternatively, if you cut the squash into cubes, you may end up with cubes that are a combination of solid and noodle-y.
