20 minutes Pasta

Believing that eating pasta is healthier than sticking at rice and cheesy pizza, fusilli meal is an essential item together with fish & chips and Shepherd pie in my weekly menu. Of course, cooking pasta is not a big deal at all. It takes only 20 minutes. I just want to show my way of cooking. Clearly, it is mainly for new comers from far east. The western residents may be much smarter than me in this business. That is my understanding.



A bag of pasta 3 quids. Cheaper than basmati rice. 3 handfuls is enough for me for 2 meals.



Wash it in the glass ware, put it together with enough water. Run microwave at full power for 20 min.


While microwave running, you can cook pasta sauce. Easy. This time, I chose turkey dice. Of course, you can get any form of mince. I used many seasonings like that.



This is an optional step. It is tastier to me if I add an onion. Now I am sizzling it for 3-4 min.


I just added the diced turkey which had been mixed with seasoning powders, including rose mary which is my fav.


after 10 min, I just added the ready made pasta sauce. Tomato is very healthy food, isn't it?


This time tomato and mushroom sauce


20 minute completed. I took pasta from microwave and drained in cold water. At the same time, I switched the cooker off.



Now, ready to have my lunch
