Add in the water. For 1/2 cup of pasta, you'll need 1 cup of water.

Add in some salt as per your taste.

Stir well and place the bowl on a microwave.

Microwave on high for 7 - 8 minutes by stirring 2 times in between to make sure that the pasta doesn't stick to the bowl.

Now you can see that the pasta is perfectly cooked. There is no water left in the bowl.

In another microwave-safe bowl, take some oil and add the diced onion and tomatoes.

Then add in your favorite veggies. I used carrot and bell pepper. Chop the veggies finely before adding.
