Why Cooking Noodles in the Microwave Works
- This fast method saves so much time and counter space.
- All you need for an extremely quick and simple clean-up is a microwave-safe bowl big enough to keep water contained, your choice of noodles, and water.
- You can make so many different pasta recipes with this back pocket microwave noodle recipe!
- You don’t need to buy any additional noodles because this will work with any kind of noodle you already have.
- Our recipe testers state, “We love pasta, especially my little ones. When they get hungry and impatient, I just warm up a sauce while I microwave some noodles, and we have dinner in ten minutes, which is pretty amazing if you ask me.” Given that I live in a dorm, this has changed the game for me. This keeps me from cooking in the common area, which is something I dislike doing.
Step 4: Drain and serve
Using a colander or strainer, carefully drain the hot water after the noodles are perfectly cooked. To stop the cooking process and get rid of any extra starch, rinse the noodles under cold water. Now that the noodles are in a serving dish, you can use them in your preferred noodle recipe or toss them with your preferred sauce.

Step 3: Stir and continue cooking
Using oven mitts or a towel, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave after the two minutes has passed. It will be hot. Stir the noodles thoroughly to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly and to avoid clumping. Be cautious as steam may be released from the bowl.
Return the noodles to the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds at a time until they are cooked to your preferred texture if they aren’t done yet. Remember to stir after each interval to ensure even cooking.
