Parmesan Zucchini and Spaghetti Squash with Pine Nuts - zucchini cooked in olive oil, topped with melted, freshly shredded Parmesan cheese AND then sprinkled with toasted pine nuts.&nbsp;

Parmesan Zucchini and Spaghetti Squash with Pine Nuts

olive oil

zucchinis (, sliced, or 1 very large zucchini, sliced)

garlic (, minced)

spaghetti squash (, medium size)

Parmesan cheese (, shredded)

pine nuts (, toasted)

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425 Fahrenheit.

Cut the squash in 2 halves, scrape out the seeds and the fiber out of each half. Spray oil over the cut sides of the squash.  Spray the baking sheet with oil and place the squash on the baking sheet cut side down.

Bake for about 30-40 minutes.  Remove it from the oven when it's cooked through and soft, and let it cool. Flip the squash so that cut side faces up – that will speed up the cooling.  After squash cools, scrape squash with a fork to remove flesh in long strands and transfer to a bowl.

How to cook spaghetti squash:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add sliced zucchini and minced garlic and saute for about 3 minutes, stirring, on medium heat, uncovered.  Season with salt, stir, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, covered, occasionally stirring, until zucchini softens and browns a bit. We are cooking it covered to preserve the juices.    Note:   Depending on the size of your skillet, you might have to cook zucchini in 2 separate batches.

Add spaghetti squash to the skillet with zucchini and mix to combine, on low heat.

Add freshly shredded Parmesan cheese into the skillet and stir on low heat to melt the cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.  Top with toasted pine nuts.

Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash with Garlic and Parmesan

spaghetti squash

Garlic (sliced thinly)

red pepper flakes

almonds

spinach (chopped)

Kosher Salt

parmesan cheese

water (for the Instant Pot)

Using the tip of a sharp, short knife, pierce the spaghetti squash in 7-8 places.

Put 1.5 cups of water into the Instant Pot. Place a steamer rack into the pot. Place the pierced spaghetti squash on the rack.

Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 7 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes.

Remove the squash and cut it open lengthwise, so that you can have long spaghetti-like strands. Put away half for another use.

Drag a fork along the squash to get long strands of spaghetti squash. Measure out 4 cups and set the rest aside for another use (like eating all the time at any excuse.) Save the squash shell since you will be serving your elegant creation in it.

Empty out the Instant Pot and wipe dry.

Press Sauté. When the pot is hot, add oil. To the hot oil, add garlic, red pepper, and slivered almonds or pine nuts. Toast for 1 minute without letting the garlic burn. Add in the spinach and salt and stir.

Add in spaghetti squash.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese just before serving.
