Re: [CnD] Microwave tuna caserole
I don't have a toaster oven, but it seems that you could buy the pasta already made. It's like the pouches of rice. Cook that for a minute in the microwave, Place it in a safe bowl, slice up your sausage, mix that in, and then top with you favorite pasta sauce and cheese. Put it back in your toaster oven and cook. Those pastas are al dente when they come out of the microwave, so I don't think that you would over cook it.

Re: [CnD] Microwave tuna caserole
Hi Dianne: So, I gave you a little misinformation. The pollenta we bought isn't microwavable, however, there are three types of pasta you can microwave. Rotini, elb ow mac, and/r gemmelly. Gimelly is like a twisty pasta. You only microwave them for one minute. Hope this helps. Sorry for the misinformation.

I like the minute rice cups, I make them in the microwave, then add butter and shredded cheese and mix them in. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Linda S. via Cookinginthedark Sent: Saturday, August 1, 2020 7:39 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Linda S.
