Spaghetti Mush
« on: August 26, 2012, 06:24:05 PM »
I bought angel hair spaghetti because it was on sale.

Now when i make spaghetti, I only use a microwave oven. I put the spaghetti, a pinch of salt and water in a disposable plastic container. I don't even bother to measure the water, its going to drained away in any case.
Nuke for 6 minutes. With regular spaghetti I can let it sit in the water for another three minutes while the sauce is nuking, and then I drain...always comes out perfect.

So six minutes go by. take out the angel hair. its already soft, but I let it soak for another three minutes while the sauce gets ready. I come back and there is NO water in the spaghetti! the angel hair ad absorbed it all!
further it had formed a semi-solid mush/porridge consistency. It was one solid piece of slimy mush.

so what to do? I tried draining it and only a few drops came out.
So. I poured on the sauce. and ate it.

It was OK. It tasted like spaghetti. It just slid down a lot easier.

Just another day in the exciting bachelor life.

I have no allusions about married life. I don't expect my wife to know how to cook. But I expect she will learn rather quickly after a few of my meals.  :-)

If you have trouble cooking angel hair pasta, I would hate to eat the rest of the meal. Just boil it and follow instruction.  :hammer:

BTW, I have seen very few women that could outcook me. My ex could not boil water without screwing it up.

I've yet to meet any non-professional that can outcook me.

Being a perpetual bachelor, food lover and a cheapskate necessitates learning to cook just about anything well.

Don't let your pasta set in water. Always cook it al dente. Cook it on the stove where you can control it better.

I've never cooked pasta in the microwave.  :???:

I have reheated it, but from scratch? Uh-uh. I think it must be against the law in at least 57 states.  :tongue:

Angel hair cooks faster than regular pasta.  Try cooking it for 4 min & set for 3 or, drain it immediately.

I microwave bacon. You just have to know how to do it. It turns out great if you double wrap the bacon in paper towels on a plate and cook it on med. power and do not overcook it. Plus the mess is less.

I made spaghetti last night. Normal spaghetti in a disposable container. add water and salt and nuke for 6 minutes.
take out and let soak in the hot water for 3-6 minutes until its soft enough.

add ground beef to spaghetti sauce. Take a cup of freeze dried ground beef and reconstitute with boiling water, add it to the sauce. mix. Nuke for 3 minutes.

By the time the sauce is done the spaghetti is ready. Drain. Leave the pasta in the disposable container. Pour the sauce in. eat with plastic fork. Drink tea from disposable plastic cup.

when done dispose of everything wrapping in a plastic grocery bag-tie shut for no smells.
spaghetti dinner with NO clean up. priceless.

Rice is why I'm NOT married. I told my fiance that same thing,  "Everything goes with rice." But I added, "Now get in the kitchen, woman!" alas, I am single to this day.

I like my pasta al dente... can't stand overcooked pasta.  Fishing a piece of pasta out of a boiling pan of water to check for firmness over and over again is annoying.
