In a large pot with boiling salted water cook the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a 2-quart microwave-safe covered casserole dish, cook the onions and butter or margarine on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked and drained pasta, milk, and cubed cheese and stir. Cook for 11 to 12 minutes on high, stirring well after 4, 8, and 11 minutes. The mixture will still be runny at this stage.
Cooking pasta in the microwave is actually pretty simple and not much different than cooking it on the stove. First, you put the desired amount of pasta in a microwaveable bowl. Next, fill the bowl with water, enough to cover all the pasta and then a little more. Put the bowl in the microwave for about 10 minutes. About half way through, youâll want to stir the pasta a little bit so it doesnât stick to itself. After the 10 minutes is up, check the pasta to see if it is done. It shouldnât be crunchy at all.
