TIPS AND TRICKS

1. Make the pasta in a large wide mug that has about 2-cup capacity. The wider and deeper the mug is, the less likely it will overspill when you cook in the microwave. 

2. Stir the pasta frequently while cooking with the water. This will help avoid chunky pasta and make sure that all the pasta is equally cooked.
