How To Cook Pasta In The Microwave

Step 1

Add dry pasta to a deep microwaveable bowl.

Step 2

Pour water to cover, make sure all the pasta is completely covered.

Step 3

Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on full power for the amount stated on the pasta packet + 3 minutes.

Step 4

If you are cooking more than 1 serving at a time I recommend stirring the pasta half way through to make sure it isn't sticking together.

Step 5

Once the microwave has finished, check the pasta is cooked through. If necessary, cook for a little longer, checking on it every minute (you don't want it to go soggy!)

Step 6

Carefully drain the water away using a colander.

Step 7

Serve with your favourite pasta sauce (which can also be heated in the microwave!)
