Stir, then microwave another 3 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot mug from the microwave.

- Make sure you're using a LARGE mug.
- The water is prone to boil over, so I like to sit my mug on a layer of folded paper towels for easy clean up if it does.
- Be aware the mug will be very HOT so be careful when removing from the microwave.
- You can spice it up a bit by adding some hot sauce to the pasta.
