Spaghetti squash strands are a fun vegetable stand-in for pasta, and using a pressure cooker allowed us to cook the squash and fresh tomato sauce all together in one pot. Spaghetti squash strands are a fun vegetable stand-in for pasta, and using a pressure cooker allowed us to cook a large spaghetti squash and make a simple fresh tomato sauce all together in one pot. First, we bloomed aromatic garlic, oregano, and pepper flakes with tomato paste to create an umami-rich base. We opted for plum tomatoes and chose not to peel them, and because they contain proportionally less juice than larger tomatoes, we didn't need to worry about seeding. Finally, we added the squash, halved and seeded, to the pressure cooker and cooked it until it was tender. The liquid from the tomatoes was enough to steam our squash to perfection. To rid the final dish of excess moisture, we drained the shredded squash in a strainer and reduced and concentrated the tomato sauce using the sauté or browning function. Fresh basil and Parmesan (vegan or dairy) completed our plant-based plate.
