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.
