When cooking pasta in the microwave, it is important to avoid it becoming dry or soggy.
- Place the pasta in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes. 1L (4 cups) of water should be added to the pan.
- Microwave on High for the amount of time specified on the packet (about 11 minutes), plus 3 minutes (for a total of 14 minutes), stirring halfway through, or until the pasta is al dente.
- Drain and put on a plate
