Question by Margarita: Can you cook pasta in the microwave?
Maybe people do this all the time, I just usually boil water on the stove in a pot and cook it the old fashioned way. The problem is, we got a new cooktop and so my husband took out the old one and it was hauled away with last week’s trash, but he still hasn’t hooked up the new one. We’ve been eating a lot of sandwiches and also at my mom’s, but my son loves pasta with tomato sauce and I can’t make it for him. I don’t have one of those newfangled pasta makers for the microwave, but I do have a rice cooker, will that work? Any suggestions?

yes you can. just have to know how much amount of water you have to put it. then you have to know how long to microwave it for.

Yeah it’d probably work… Just do it a little bit at a time until it seems good.
please don’t do it in the microwave oven.It will turn rubbery,and some parts of your pasta wil be cooked more than others.Go to your grocery store and buy Barilla Pasta,it is the best on the market.Boil some water,with a dash of salt, than add the pasta of your choice. The instructions on the box will tell you how long to cook it. El Dante’ is the best way.Good-luck,trust me it is better cooked on the stove than in your microwave oven!!!!!
Just buy some Easy Mac from Kraft. That works great in the microwave and it comes in different flavors.
Or just heat up some spaghetti-o’s.
Yes, it’ll work just don’t put too much water and it’ll come out fine.
Yes. Tortellini is easy: boil a big bowl of water in microwave safe bowl, add tortellini, keep boiling…every 6 minutes check for tenderness. when its ‘al dente’ sauce it, heat another minute, enjoy!!! An alternative way-boil water in bowl, pour water into big plastic bag, add pasta, in 8 minutes, puncture and drain.Re add to bowl. Sauce and dress pasta, reheat for 11/2 minutes. Toss. Add cheese. Eat.
Totally, I just did my Kraft Dinner in the microwave for lunch.. Just use a big container, i use this big glass jug that looks like an 10 cup measuring cup that came with the micro. Fill it, like 6 cups, of water. (well depending on how much pasta, use the same amount of water you would normally use. Set it for 10 min. to boil. When boiling add pasta, a little oil and set for 9-10 mins. to cook, maybe stirring once if the pasta starts to stick to itself….beeeeeepppp! done. Same as stove top.
Yes, I’ve cooked pasta in my microwave. You just have to remember to keep enough water in the container, keep it covered and watch it. After 3 minutes take it out stir it, check to see if it’s done, if not put it back in for anywhere from 2 – 3 more minutes. Sure hope this works for you, oh, cooking time will also depend on the wattage of your microwave.
Yes you can!
Boil your water in the micro and put in your pasta, cover it and let it sit, still in the micro, for 15 minutes, stirring it once or twice. Check for doneness and go from there with the sauces over top or whatever you want to put on it.
no. but you can heat it up from leftovers
I’d go for the rice cooker; better texture. Just heat the water in the cooker for 10 minutes and then put the pasta in.
Just cook it in any microwaveable container that will hold enough water – i.e. casserole dish, 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup, Visions cookware pot, etc.
Yes, you can. But you have to buy a microwave pasta/rice steamer.
tell your husband to get off his ass and hook that stove up… but! try toasted tomato sandwiches (simple toast your bread add mayo and tomatos, salt and pepper to taste) as for pasta you can make it in the microwave get a microwavable dish fill it with water and let it boil, add the pasta and microwave it for 10 minutes after 5 stir it and keep it going until it cooks. try making mushroom rice… (you can add veggies mixed in the rice too) get your rice, use a can of mushroom soup.. one can to about 1 1/2 c. of uncooked rice. cook together and VOila!!!
