Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to make this delightful dish:
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (any variety you prefer)
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your meal:
- Start by cutting the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scooping out the seeds. Place the halves in the Instant Pot on the trivet, cut side up.
- Add one cup of water to the pot, then secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Once done, allow a quick release of pressure.
- While the squash cooks, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Serve your spaghetti squash topped with the mushroom ragu and garnish with fresh basil.
This dish offers an amazing balance of textures and flavors while being low in carbs and completely vegan. Enjoy every bite of this wholesome meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or any time you’re craving something nourishing!
