Cooking Instructions:
For stove-top dishes:
Pasta Agile was designed to be added directly to recipes with no pre-cooking required.
Add uncooked pasta towards the end of cooking.
Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked Agile.
Stir, making sure pasta is fully coated with liquid or sauce. (Note: Agile does not need to be fully submerged.)
Cook covered for about 2 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cooking times can fluctuate.
For microwave preparation:
Combine Agile and ingredients in microwave-safe bowl. Use a bowl at least 2 times as large as the amount of Agile. Ex: For 1 cup of Agile, use a 2.5 cup bowl; for 2 cups of Agile, use a 4 cup (one quart) bowl.
Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked pasta.
Microwave on HIGH until Agile is tender, approximately 2 to 3 minutes
Carefully remove bowl from microwave. Do not drain. CAUTION: Bowl will be hot.
Stir, let stand 1 minute until liquid is absorbed.
Cooking agile by itself:
Bring liquid to a boil in a pan on medium heat. Add Agile (you’ll need about 1/2 cup liquid for every cup of pasta).
Check doneness after about 2 minutes.
Season to taste with salt & pepper. (You may want to add a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.)
Pasta Agile also works well with oven-baked recipes as a simple "toss in and stir" element. Check out our Recipes for great ideas with whatever style of cooking you’re in to.
