Microwave-cooked pasta

Directions

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with a lid with water (enough to cover the dough), oil paint, salt to taste (usually one tablespoon), and any herbs you have. ≈ 10 min
2. Place the container in the microwave (placing a plate underneath to prevent water from spilling) and carefully read the safety instructions provided. ≈ 3 min
3. Add the dough, spices, and place it in the microwave for the time specified on the packaging of the corresponding pasta (pasta, spaghetti, etc.). It is generally advisable to check for doneness halfway through the cooking time. ≈ 3 min
4. Let the dough rest, then press it. It is now ready to be served. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
5. Place the dough in a plastic container or a microwave-safe dish, add enough water to completely cover it, and then add a pinch of salt. ≈ 3 min
6. Heat in the microwave until the water boils (place a plate underneath the container to prevent spills, and carefully read the safety instructions). ≈ 3 min
7. Check the pasta to ensure it is cooked “al dente” (if it is still too hard, heat it for an additional 1 or 2 minutes). ⏱ 2 min
8. Drain the dough and rinse thoroughly with cold water, then let it drain. ≈ 2 min
9. Place the pre-cooked dough in a clean, empty container, along with the oil paint, cheese, onion, and powdered garlic, then microwave for 35 seconds. ≈ 3 min
10. Let it rest, then add the ham, sausage, or vegetables of your choice. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
