- Microwave 30 more seconds.
- Stir again, serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- I find mugs can get very hot when microwaved for long periods so I like to place mine in the microwave on a cloth pot holder to make taking it in and out easier (and safer).
- Stir, stir, stir! It keeps the pasta from sticking together.
- Make sure you aren't using a small mug. You want to use a 15 ounce mug or larger.
