METHOD

1. Place pasta into the Pasta Cooker Base and fill with water to the corresponding MAX line. Place into the microwave, uncovered, and cook at 900 watts for 13-15 minutes or until tender.

Tupper Tips:

• Prosciutto can be substituted with fried pancetta pieces for a more authentic carbonara. Use the Chef SeriesTM Pure Cookware 24cm Frypan to fry the pancetta with 1 tbs olive oil until crispy.
• For a vegetarian option, substitute the prosciutto with 150g of sautéed mushrooms.
• Sprinkle toasted pine nuts over pasta for another texture.
