Pasta Agile was designed to be added directly to recipes with no pre-cooking required.
For stove-top dishes,
- Add uncooked pasta towards the end of cooking.
- Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked pasta.
- Stir, making sure pasta is fully coated with liquid or sauce. (Note: Pasta does not need to be fully submerged.)
- Cook covered for about 2 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cooking times can fluctuate.
For microwave preparation,
- Combine Agile and ingredients in microwave-safe bowl. Use a bowl at least 2 times as large as the amount of Agile. Ex: For 1 cup of Agile, use a 2.5 cup bowl; for 2 cups of Agile, use a 4 cup (one quart) bowl.
- Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked pasta.
- Microwave on HIGH until Agile is tender, approximately 2 to 3 minutes
- Carefully remove bowl from microwave. Do not drain. CAUTION: Bowl will be hot.
- Stir, let stand 1 minute until liquid is absorbed.
Cooking Agile By Itself
- Bring liquid to a boil in a pan on medium heat. Add Pasta Agile (you’ll need about 1/2 cup liquid for every cup of pasta).
- Check doneness after about 2 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt & pepper. (You may want to add a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.)
