1. Get a microwave safe bowl and add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of pasta of your choice.
2. Add water to the bowl so the pasta is a couple of inches deep. Remember that the pasta will grow in size, so be sure to have enough water. You can always drain out the extra if you add too much.
3. Place the bowl on top of a plate and put it in the microwave just in case any water spills over.
4. Take the suggested cooking time from the pasta box and add 3-4 minutes. Check on the pasta when it's done and sample a piece or two.
5. If the pasta is at desired doneness, strain the pasta over the sink. If it’s not at desired doneness just put in the microwave for a few more minutes.
