Spaghetti In Microwave Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This recipe not only cooks in the microwave oven, but you can reheat it in that appliance too. Try it the next time you're in a hurry for pastaIt's surprising that you can cook pasta in the microwave, but it makes sense if you think about it. You can find products on late-night television now that promise you can cook pasta in a container with hot water. Pasta doesn't technically need to be cooked in rolling boiling water; it just needs to rehydrate in hot water. That's why this recipe works. Here's how to cook pasta in the microwave oven: make sure the pasta is covered with liquid and that it's not sticking together. You do need to stir the casserole a few times while it's cooking, so the spaghetti absorbs the liquid properly. And standing time is important; the food finishes heating, and the pasta will absorb more flavor. Serve this dish with a green salad tossed with mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and an intense italian vinaigrette.
