Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare all the necessary products. Pasta will fit any shape: fusilli, penne, concilloni, bows and others. But be sure to take pasta from durum wheat - they are much healthier. I have spaghetti - my children love them the most, but I will break them into several pieces. Also, for cooking in the microwave, I recommend pasta, which is cooked for a short time. Cheese can be of any variety: both hard and soft, mozzarella and even cheese with mold.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Prepare dishes that can be used in a microwave oven. Let me remind you that you can not take metal dishes and dishes with a gilded pattern. But ceramic, porcelain and glass are perfect. Take the dishes deep enough, because in fact pasta will be cooked in it. Pour filtered or bottled water into the dishes in which you will cook pasta.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Salt the water.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Put in the microwave for 5 minutes at a power of 1000. Pasta is usually put in boiling water, so we need to bring the water to a boil.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Take out a bowl of boiling water and add pasta to it. As you can see, I broke the spaghetti into 3 pieces, otherwise they just wouldn't fit into the bowl. Return the pasta dishes to the microwave and cook at a lower power (optimally 400-600). We choose the time as follows: add 2 minutes to the time indicated on the package. That is, if it is indicated on the package that the pasta should be cooked for 7 minutes, then the cooking time in the microwave will be 9 mi

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    This is how the pasta looks after cooking in the microwave.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    But there may be some liquid left, so throw them on a sieve.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Add butter and mix well.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Meanwhile, grate the cheese on a grater of any size.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Sprinkle the finished pasta with grated cheese and serve immediately. If suddenly your pasta has cooled down a little, then put a plate with a dish in the microwave for 1 minute so that the cheese melts.

    Bon appetit!
