How to microwave pasta 
Pour a small amount of pasta into a microwave safe bowl. 
You should only use ceramics or glass in the microwave, not plastic. About a half a cup or a one whole cup should be enough since pasta swells up after being cooked.
Add water to the bowl so the pasta is a couple of inches or several centimeters deep. Place the bowl on top of a plate and put it in the microwave.
