I will never cook a spaghetti squash any other way! Wow, so easy and effective. I have a 3 quart IP, so I cut the squash in half the short way, and used a silicon trivet/sling. I put the squash cut side down, used 1 cup water and set for 7 minutes. Perfect! I repeated it with the second half with a fresh cup of water. The IP got up to pressure quickly for the 2nd half. I was able to get nearly all the strings out all the way to the skin in most areas. Served it with ground turkey and marinara sauce and roasted cruciferous shredded veggies on the side. Husband loved it and thanked me for making such a healthy meal. Win-win!

In reply to Vero. I would keep the water the same and give it a try--it should work out well!

IF two spaghetti squashes each cut in half fit into my insta, would I add more water or not? Does this sound like a bad idea or a possibility?

In reply to Christina. Quick release or natural pressure release work for this recipe. No difference for this recipe :)

Is that going to be fast release or natural pressure release?

Mind blown! Cross-cut, face down in Instant Pot, 7 Minutes High Pressure = PERFECTION!! Spaghetti squash (and I guess squash in general) has never been an option as a quick weeknight meal with all the prep that usually has to take place, and long bake-times. No more! Now maybe I won't leave the squash on the counter for weeks before doing something with it. Thank you for providing different options and your opinion on what works best! I look forward to trying other recipes of yours in the future.
