How to Make Pasta Without a Stove

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UGA chapter.

Cooking on your own can be a hassle in college. From making your way to the kitchen to washing your own pots and pans, let’s just say that the lazy way is the best way. Hallelujah for microwaves, because now you can make pasta right in your dorm room.

This recipe only requires any type of short pasta (like elbows), some water, whatever else you want to throw on top, and a little microwave magic. Seriously, you can’t mess this up.
