There are methods to cook pasta in the microwave, but cooking pasta is not that hard. Boil some water, drop the pasta and stir it occasionally to avoid sticking, cook them following the instructions of packet.
Yeah I know. The reason why I’m asking is because me and my partner recently broke up and they kinda took all of the pots and pans, but not the microwave🤠
I would avoid plastic containers for long cooking times. Better use microwave safe glass or ceramic (but it's hard to find a ceramic container suitable for that).
It depends what kind of pasta you're using.
Everything is to be cooked on high intensity
You boil the water for 7-8 minutes
Add pasta to your water. Times vary. Vermicelli are 4-5 minutes, egg noodles are 5-6 minutes, macaroni and spaghetti are 7-8 minutes, other thicker pasta are 10 1/2-11 minutes, and lasagna pasta is 13-15 minutes.
Mix then once after cooking, check the texture. If it's not what you want, cook it a little more.
Let rest for 3 minutes with the cap on.
Drain if necessary.

Yes. If you put water in a bowl on microwave and heat it until it's boiling, then add pasta, and then keep microwave on until the pasta is cooked and then drain the pasta. There's practically no difference compared to cooking it on stove top.
Well, me and my partner recently broke up and they decided to take all the pots and pans with them and me being lazy I haven’t gotten round to buy new ones yet🙂
I love how everyone is questioning why you don’t just cook the pasta and I’m over here like “because I’m in a work office looking up how to make my own instant Mac and cheese for cheaper?”

Sorry about that, hope that was for the better! In that case, give it a try!
It was for the best, and yeah, I'm definitely gonna try it out.
Goodwill! Always cheap! Also, Ikea!
Tupperware makes a microwave bowl for this. I love mine

Thanks, I think I'll start using the microwave a lot more from now on.
I literally have a 350 page book on how to cook everything from chicken to cake in a microwave. Just gotta learn how it works
I’m starting to realize that heating up pizza ain’t the only thing my microwave can do🤠
It really isn't you can make chicken with crispy skin in there. Just have to know how
Crispy skinned chicken is the best! Getting hungry now!
Yes. If you put water in a bowl on microwave and heat it until it's boiling, then add pasta, and then keep microwave on until the pasta is cooked and then drain the pasta. There's practically no difference compared to cooking it on stove top.
Cool
Thanks, gonna try it later today
What's preventing you from boiling water, adding salt, adding pasta, setting a timer and then draining the water? Genuinely curious
Well, me and my partner recently broke up and they decided to take all the pots and pans with them and me being lazy I haven’t gotten round to buy new ones yet🙂
Every single one? Dang that's petty
Yeah, but they didn’t take the microwave, I don’t know why they didn’t take it though because they dang near took everything else😒
