How to Cook Spaghetti Noodles in the Microwave

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (12 ounces) spaghetti noodles
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Place the spaghetti noodles in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Add the water and salt and stir to combine.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the top for steam to escape.
  4. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente (tender but still a bit firm).
  5. Stir the noodles and microwave for another 2-4 minutes, or until they are fully cooked to your liking.
  6. Drain the noodles in a colander and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a chewier texture, cook the noodles for a shorter amount of time.
  • For a more tender texture, cook the noodles for a longer amount of time.
  • Add your favorite sauce to the noodles and enjoy!
