For stove-top dishes:

Pasta Agile was designed to be added directly to recipes with no pre-cooking required.

1. Add uncooked pasta towards the end of cooking. 
2. Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked Agile. 
3. Stir, making sure pasta is fully coated with liquid or sauce. (Note: Agile does not need to be fully submerged.) 
4. Cook covered for about 2 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cooking times can fluctuate. 

For microwave preparation: 

1. 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. 
2. Use about ½ cup of liquid or sauce for every 1 cup of uncooked pasta. 
3. Microwave on HIGH until Agile is tender, approximately 2 to 3 minutes 
4. Carefully remove bowl from microwave. Do not drain. CAUTION: Bowl will be hot. 
5. Stir, let stand 1 minute until liquid is absorbed. 

Cooking agile by itself:

1. 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).      
2. Check doneness after about 2 minutes. 
3. 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.
