Ingredients You Will Need

Pasta (1 cup)
Water (2 cups)

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

The first thing you need to do is collect all your ingredients. Make sure you have your pasta, water, salt, sauce, and cheese ready.

Step 2: Mix It Up

Take a big, microwave-safe bowl. Put your pasta in the bowl. Add the water and salt. Stir it all together.

Step 4: Check the Pasta

After 10 minutes, carefully take the bowl out of the microwave (it’s hot!). Use a fork to see if the pasta is soft. If it’s not, put it back in the microwave for 2 more minutes.

Step 5: Add The Sauce

Drain the extra water from the pasta. Then, add your favourite sauce to the pasta. Stir it all up so the sauce covers all the pasta.

Step 6: Cheese It Up

If you want, sprinkle some cheese on top of your pasta. Put the bowl back in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Yummy!
