Raw pasta must be boiled in water.

To boil pasta in a microwave, place the pasta in a large bowl of water.


The microwave boils the water, the boiling water cooks the pasta.


This should take about 8 - 9 minutes, longer if the water was cold at the start.

You put the pasta in a microwavable bowl full of water, vegetable oil, and a little salt. Then put some plastic wrap or a paper towl over it so it doesn't explode! If you use plastic wrap you might want to poke some holes in it so that the steam can escape. The you cook it for about 15 minutes and consistently check on it until it is at the right texture for your liking. I personally like to add some Butter, Salt, Pepper, and Parmesan Cheese when its done. Hope this helps!

Add pasta to a microwave proof bowl and add a little water - maybe 2cm - and then cover with cling film that has been pierced a few times. Cook for 2 minutes, then test pasta. Be careful - the steam is hot! Cook for a short time longer to desired texture, carefully testing it after each interval.

Anything you cook in a microwave needs to contain water, as the microwaves resonate water molecules to produce heat.

Dry pasta won't work on it's own, but fresh pasta might. It would also work if you put the pasta in a bowl of water, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it will create a huge amount of steam in a confined space!
