I sautéed mushrooms to placed on high of the spaghetti squash

Nevertheless, it is the start of the New Yr, and like everybody else I’ve taken a listing of myself and determined that I must be consuming extra greens similar to that spaghetti squash since it’s a low carb, low calorie, scrumptious vegetable particularly the best way I made it. 

After cooking within the Immediate Pot after which baking

After I launched all of the steam and eliminated the squash, I crammed the cavity with salsa and sautéed mushrooms and baked it in a pre-heated oven on 375 for Quarter-hour. It was about  Quarter-hour of fussing (reducing and scooping out the spaghetti squash and cleansing and sautéing the mushrooms) and 25 minutes of cooking complete.

I minimize the squash in thirds earlier than serving it

I observed this concept on the menu at a neighborhood restaurant that serves 1/2 of a spaghetti squash baked with sauce and cheese or vegan cheese. I substituted mushrooms for the cheese.

Place one of many halves of the spaghetti squash on the steamer gadget within the Immediate Pot. Add 2 cups of water. Shut the lid, set to strain cook dinner for 8 minutes, and ensure the steam launch is closed. 

When completed, launch steam instantly based on the producer’s directions. When all steam is launched, rigorously take away the lid. Utilizing mitts, take away the squash and place on oven proof tray. 

Fill the cavity with sauce and mushrooms. Bake uncovered for 10-Quarter-hour. Lower into thirds and serve. 

I like butternut squash too.

My Notes/Options 

1. This recipe will be made prematurely and thus simplifying the recipe by cooking the squash within the Immediate Pot the day earlier than and refrigerating for a day till you’re able to serve it. THEN simply fill it  with the sauce and mushrooms and bake it for Quarter-hour earlier than serving.

2. For those who use vegan cheese (or common cheese) you may get pleasure from utilizing it a s a topping earlier than baking.
