    Title: Microwave Pasta
    Categories: Pasta
    Yield: 1 method

    1 INFO

    Break up the spaghetti noodles and place them in a bowl.
    Measure out as much spaghetti as you'd like to cook in
    the microwave. Then break the noodles into halves or
    thirds and put them in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Pour enough water to cover the noodles by 2 inches (5.1
    cm). You can use room temperature water or just run
    water from the tap into the bowl. It's important that
    the noodles are completely submerged.

    The noodles will double or triple in size as they cook
    which is why they need to be covered with the water.

    Microwave the pasta for 3 minutes longer than the
    package instructs. Put the bowl in the microwave and
    read the pasta cooking instructions. Set the timer for 3
    minutes longer than the pasta maker's recommendations.

    For example, if the package says to boil the noodles for
    9 minutes, you'll need to microwave them for 12 minutes
    on full power. You may need to microwave even longer
    as microwaves vary. If the noodles aren't done enough
    give them another 2 minutes and test again.

    Drain and use the cooked pasta. Carefully remove the hot
    bowl from the microwave. Set a colander in the sink and
    slowly pour the hot pasta into it so the water drains
    into the sink. Then top the cooked pasta with your
    favorite sauce.

    Refrigerate leftover cooked pasta in an airtight
    container for up to 3 to 5 days.

    Title: Meat Sauce in The Microwave
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 2 servings

    1 md Onion
    1 cl Garlic
    1 md Carrot
    10 oz (300 g) minced beef
    14 oz (411 g) can diced tomatoes
    2 tb Boiling water
    1 ts (2 g) dried oregano
    1 Beef stock (bouillon) cube
    +=OR=+
    1 ts (2.5 g) powdered bouillon

    Chop onion, garlic, and carrot. Peel the produce and set
    on a cutting board. Then use a sharp knife to chop the
    onion into 1/2" (1.3 cm) pieces and mince the garlic
    clove. Dice the carrot into pea-sized pieces and
    transfer everything to a large microwave-safe bowl.

    Mix lean ground beef with the veggies in the bowl. Mix
    the meat into the chopped vegetables as you break it
    into smaller pieces. This will help the beef cook
    evenly.

    Cover the bowl and microwave the mixture for 3 minutes.
    Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl with the meat
    and vegetables. Then cut a 2" (5.1 cm) slit in the
    plastic wrap so steam can escape. Microwave the meat and
    vegetables for 3 minutes using high power.

    If you don't want to use plastic wrap and the bowl has a
    lid, set the lid on the bowl so it's slightly askew and
    steam can escape.

    Use caution when handling the dish since it will become
    very hot.

    Microwave the meat mixture for 3 more minutes. Keep the
    mixture covered and microwave it until the meat is no
    longer pink. To ensure it's finished cooking, insert a
    meat thermometer into the center of the dish. The meat
    should reach 160ºF/71ºC.

    If the meat is still slightly pink or hasn't reached
    160ºF/71ºC, cover and microwave it for 1 more minute
    before checking it again.

    (Optional) Drain off any visible grease from the bowl
    once the meat has finished cooking.

    Stir in the tomatoes, water, stock, and oregano. Open
    the can of diced tomatoes and add it to the bowl with
    the meat and vegetables. Stir in of boiling water, dried
    oregano, and 1 beef stock cube or powdered bouillon.

    Microwave the meat sauce for 7 minutes. Lay the plastic
    wrap or lid back on the bowl and heat the sauce on full
    power. The sauce should begin to bubble and become
    fragrant.

    Taste the sauce and stir in ground pepper according to
    your taste. It's safe to taste the sauce since the meat
    is already cooked.

    Microwave the sauce for 10 more minutes before serving.
    Remove the lid and stir the sauce well. Then set the lid
    or wrap back on the bowl and heat the sauce for 10 more
    minutes. Stir it at the halfway point so the sauce cooks
    evenly. Carefully remove the sauce from the microwave
    and spoon it over the cooked spaghetti.

    Cover and refrigerate leftover meat sauce for up to 3
    or 4 days.
