Cook with me and check out how to make pasta in the microwave. I made Spaghetti Carbonara using only the microwave in less than 15 minutes. It’s super easy to make with only 4 basic ingredients. It’s an quick easy Carbonara recipe and most importantly delicious! It’s perfect for a quick meal. Have a try!
To my dearest Italian friends:
I know this recipe is not authentic in any means, but it’s so simple and imitates the real Italian Carbonara, so please forgive me for sharing this recipe 🙏.
=============== RECIPE: SPAGHETTI CARBONARA (Microwave Pasta) ===============
INGREDIENTS: (1 person)
» Spaghetti – 100g / 1cup [
» Olive Oil (or any other oil) – 1 Tablespoon [
» Bacon – 2-3 strips / 30g / 1oz (or Pancetta cubes)
(sliced bacons) [
(pancetta cubes) [
» Garlic minced or powder – 0.5 teaspoon (optional) [
» Chicken bouillon powder – 1 teaspoon [
» Water – 300ml / 1.2cups
» Butter – 1 teaspoon [
» Parmesan Cheese – 2 Tablespoons [
» Egg – 1 (plus 1 egg yolk, if you like it very creamy)
» Salt and Pepper, to taste (preferably, coarse ground black pepper [
DIRECTIONS:
1. PREPARE a microwave safe container.
2. BREAK the pasta in half and place it into the container by criss-crossing (this will help prevent pasta from sticking together).
3. ADD oil onto the pasta (this will also help prevent pasta from sticking together)(the more oil, the less sticking together).
4. CUT bacons into small pieces and add them on top of the pasta.
5. ADD minced garlic (optional).
6. ADD chicken bouillon powder.
7. ADD water.
8. MICROWAVE it for about 7-8 minutes with no lid (2-3 minutes plus the time indicated on the package; so 5 minutes pasta would need 7-8 minutes microwave time for 800w microwave)(it’s 10 minutes for 600w microwave)(you could check half way to stir and break up the pasta sticking together and add more water if necessary, but I usually don’t).
9. DRAIN the excess water from the container.
10. ADD butter, cheese, egg, and stir them all together.
11. ADD salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
TIPS:
» The time for microwave depends on the amount and type of pasta, as well as the microwave power. Usually 2-3 minutes plus the time indicated on the pasta package works.
» The amount of water depends on the amount of pasta. So, if there’s too much water after microwaving it, drain it before adding the ingredients in Step#10.
