We know this might sound controversial, but hear us out: You should be cooking your pasta in the microwave.
Instead of waiting for a pot of water to boil on the stovetop, make your noodles in an Anyday Deep Dish instead. Key word: DEEP. When you use this technique, you'll end up with perfectly al dente pasta in a fraction of the time PLUS you'll get that beautiful starchy pasta water that helps emulsify your sauce into something silky and restaurant-worthy. We dare you to give it a try.
Pro Tip #1: Take the lid OFF.
While we love our signature Anyday lid for lots of reasons, pasta isn't one of them. So when microwaving pasta, be sure to skip the lid. Because our lid traps steam and heat so effectively, the starchy pasta water can easily boil over (and nobody wants to clean that up).
P.S. If you find that your water is still boiling over, even with the lid off, try lowering your microwave's power level until you get it right.
Pro Tip #2: Use a Clip-on Strainer.
Once your pasta is done, snap on our Clip-On Strainer and drain extra water — no bulky colander needed. One dish, no mess.
