Microwave Cooking- Spaghetti Pasta in Red Sauce (Vegetarian)

I LOVE PASTA! ( and so does my AMMA)

Any shape and sauce? preferably Red Sauce or Pesto! I try to stay away from white sauce unless I have no other option or my awesome roommate makes her trademark mushroom white sauce pasta!

So last night I decided to make Red Sauce Spaghetti pasta with the limited supplies that I had and of course, using the microwave (My Hero!).

Here is the recipe for people like me, who don't have access to a gas stove or who are just plain lazy.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 5-7 minutes

Things you need:
Microwave Bowl
Spaghetti Pasta
Salt
Papa Alfredo Tomato Garlic Sauce
Oregano
Chilli Flakes
Canned Baked Beans, Peas (or any other veggies)
You cal also add sausage (if you are craving meat)
Maggi Extra Hot Chilli Sauce

Preparation:

1. Since I had a small, round microwave safe bowl, the long strands of Spaghetti didn't fit straight right in. I therefore had to break the spaghetti into half and put it in the bowl.

2. First wash the spaghetti in cold running water

3. Drain off the water and then add boiling hot water to the same bowl

4. Add about 1 tbsp of salt to the bowl

5. Boil the Spaghetti in the microwave for about 10-12 minutes until it is soft and ready to be eaten

6. Then, slowly drain out all the excess water.

Cooking:

1. Add the very delicious Papa Alfredo Tomato Garlic Pasta sauce to the cooked pasta and mix.

2. I wanted my pasta to be more chunky so I added a couple of spoons of baked beans and green peas. Non-vegetarians can add chunks of meat to this as well.

3. Since I have authentic Indian taste buds I chose to add some Maggi Extra Hot Chilli Sauce and mix the contents of the bowl.

4. You can heat the contents of the bowl once again if you please

4. I then used the chili flakes and oregano as seasoning.

The dish turned out to be quite a tasty affair.

I had made enough spaghetti to be eaten for dinner and to be packed for lunch the next day!
