Gnocchi

Again from DeCecco! Actually, my big family also uses this brand.
As it turned out, the combination worked well for me. The taste of a good pappardelle was very pleasing to me. And the taste of this brand was quite good. Despite its rough texture, the pasta had a nice smooth taste!

Let’s jump right into it!
Now, I want to share a story from Marriot about…
…cook pasta in the microwave! It’s a cool experience.
Let’s Hear Marriot’s Story!
I was at this hotel in Seattle last year.
It’s about 3 AM and I’m still as fresh as the morning dew.
My stomach is rumbling but I can’t go anywhere…
… since I’m new in that town.
So, I check all the foods that I’ve bought for my friend.
I found pasta!
But how do I cook pasta without a stove?
There was a microwave sitting on the pantry.
I was hesitant at first.
I googled how to cook pasta in the microwave.
I didn’t realize until that time how easy and convenient…
… to cook pasta in the microwave.”
Here’s the real deal!
How To Cook Pasta In The Microwave
Prepare it first!
- Pasta
- Water
- Microwaveable bowl – a deep one is best as the water will boil up
- Microwave
Time to get the show on the road!
- In a microwave-safe bowl, place the pasta.
- Make sure it’s deep enough to contain the pasta while still leaving room for the water to fill up, and that the pasta is entirely covered.
- Make sure you use cold (tap) water.
- You can also use boiling water, either straight from the kettle or by first boiling it in the microwave.
- Personally, I find it much easier to simply use cold water which has no effect on the flavor or texture.
- Cover the pasta with water until it is completely submerged.
- Set the microwave to high for 3 minutes longer than the pasta package recommends.
- So, if the packet specifies 8 minutes, set the microwave to 11 minutes.
- If you’ve already boiled the water, you can merely cook it for the amount of time specified on the package.
- When the microwave is finished, carefully remove it from the oven and drain the water using a colander.
- Toss with your favorite pasta sauce (which can be heated in the microwave!) and serve.
Lastly, simply break them up to fit into the microwave-safe bowl.
Wait, I have another option for you, this thing is to build for…
…cook pasta in the microwave easier.
The simplicity of this item tickles me to no end, and it’s one of my favorite purchases for my fully-stocked kitchen. Everybody should have one of these!

How Long Does It Take To Cook Pasta In The Microwave?
The amount of time it takes is determined on the pasta package.
Add 3 minutes to the cooking time indicated on the pasta package.
It can take a little longer if you’re making more than one serving.
Just make sure the pasta is done before draining the water…
