Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1 cup vegetable broth
1 sprig fresh rosemary
½ tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped button mushrooms
1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried sage
3 bay leaves
½ teaspoon basil

Steps:

  • Combine spaghetti squash, vegetable broth, rosemary, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Remove spaghetti squash and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Pour in peeled tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, sage, and bay leaves. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves and stir in basil. Serve over spaghetti squash.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for a spaghetti squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly: To ensure that the spaghetti squash is cooked evenly, pierce it with a fork several times before baking. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent the squash from bursting.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is a key component of this recipe, so be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti squash is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to soften and lose their shape if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Low-carb vegan spaghetti squash bolognese is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary needs. With its hearty and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
