2) Microwave Pasta
Ingredients: Pasta, preferably elbows, Water, Salt and pepper for taste, Tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese.
Recipe:
Pour a small amount of pasta into a microwave safe bowl. You should only use ceramics or glass in the microwave, not plastic. About a half a cup or a one whole cup should be enough since pasta swells up after being cooked. Add water to the bowl so the pasta is a couple of inches or several centimeters deep. Place the bowl on top of a plate and put it in the microwave. The plate will catch any water in case it boils over, but it shouldn't. Take the suggested time for cooking from the pasta box and add 3-4 minutes to this. Microwave the pasta for this amount of time. Depending on the strength of your microwave, it may take more or less time. Strain the pasta over a sink. Heat up some sauce for about 35 seconds in the microwave. Or alternatively, use salt and butter or olive oil. Add your chosen seasoning to the pasta.
