Easy Fettuccine with Butternut Squash -Instant Pot Pressure Cooker or Stove Top

I had a small squash that needed to be used up and decided this Fettuccine with Butternut Squash would make a nice lunch. And it was:@) I kept things extremely simple, just mashed the squash with a little butter and seasoned salt and used it to coat a nice substantial al dente pasta. This was an easy meal and both items were cooked in the ♥Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, but could also be made on the stove.
