Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash cut in half, seeds removed
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 1.5 cup cheese mix of mozzarella and parmesan
  • 12 pepperoni

Instructions

  • Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove inner seeds so inside cavity is clean.
  • Cooking spaghetti squash in air fryer - follow air fryer spaghetti squash
  • Cooking spaghetti squash in pressure cooker - Pour 1.5 c water into your Foodi or pressure cooker and place a trivet at the bottom.
  • Set both halves of your squash inside with cut ends facing up.
  • Put on pressure cooker lid and close steam valve. Set to high pressure for 8 minutes. Then do a quick release.
  • Drain water from inside cavity of squash halves and remove from pot. Carefully place on cutting board to cool, they will be hot!
  • Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes so it's at least cool enough for you to pick it up with a hand towel in your hand and handle it without burning yourself, it will be hot.
  • Pizza spaghetti squash - Using a fork gently scrape the "noodles" out of each half and into a bowl. Make sure to leave the outsides of the squash in tact so you can use them as "bowls".
  • Drain water from bowl with "noodles" in it. Add your spaghetti squash and 1/2 c of cheese and gently stir so everything is nicely coated.
  • Drain water from inner pot and put trivet back in. Place empty half of squash on trivet with empty side facing up.
  • Use fork to fill squash with spaghetti squash mixture in bowl (fork helps to lessen excess liquid)
  • Sprinkle 1/ 4 cheese on top, followed by pepperoni, followed by 1/4 c more cheese.
  • Close air crisp lid and set to 400 for 8 minutes or until browned on top.
  • Take out and enjoy immediately for best results.
