Ingredients
  • cup (1 ½ oz/45g) pasta
  • 1 cup (8oz / 230g) water, hot
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 4 tablespoons pasta sauce (tomato sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
  1. In a large microwavable mug or large bowl add in the pasta and the water. You need a large mug as the water will boil up.
  2. Microwave for roughly another 3 ½ minutes or until tender. You want the pasta to be fully cooked. (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary)
  3. Pour off the remaining cooking water.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch, tomato sauce and milk and microwave for a final 60 seconds or until the sauce thickens. The cornstarch is the thickener for the sauce.
  5. Stir well, season with salt and pepper and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug.

Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.
