Mashed Spaghetti Squash

When I overcooked spaghetti squash in an instant pot, I turned it into a tasty side dish that looked like buttery mashed potatoes and tasted like it.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 Spaghetti squash

Ingredients

• 1  spaghetti squash, overcooked
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  tablespoon  dehydrated chives
• 1  teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 cup  whipping cream, approximate (milk will do too)

Directions

1. Take the pulp out of the spaghetti squash. Overcook to where it is mushy (8 minutes in an instant pot and allow a 4 minute natural release time). In the oven 375 at approximately 1 hour.
2. Add all but the last ingredient and mix with a hand mixer to get a mashed potato consistency. Add whipping cream until creamy. If it is to creamy you may add instant potato flakes a little at a time to stiffen.
