Instructions
- 1 Combine butternut squash and 2 cups water 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 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- 2 While squash is cooking, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Sauté until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper; set skillet aside.
- 3 Release pressure carefully from the pressure cooker using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- 4 Add squash into the skillet with onion-garlic mixture. Add remaining 1 cup water and mash or puree until mixture is smooth.
- 5 Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and adjust seasonings.
