Additional Notes

**Tip:** We used pre-cooked chicken sausage that has 110 calories per large link. Be sure to buy a brand that is low in fat and carbs. Cook spaghetti squash in an Instant Pot! Pierce whole spaghetti squash with knife. Place steamer trivet inside Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup water. Place whole squash in Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
