The process of cooking macaroni

It is enough to load the necessary ingredients,set the mode and time on the timer and do other, more important things. With minimal costs, pasta, vermicelli or spaghetti turn out tasty and crumbly. So, we should consider in more detail the process of cooking pasta in a multicooker.

What is needed for cooking?

First, you need to decide how muchthe dish is calculated for a person and how much pasta to pour in. As a rule, it is taken at the rate of 200 g for 4 servings. It is better to take pasta of any shape, premium or first grade and made of durum wheat. This is due to the fact that they are healthier, will not stick together or overcook, it is difficult to gain weight from them and they are easier to cook. The next step is to pour water (preferably hot, so the cooking process will occur much faster) into the multicooker pan so that it slightly covers the pasta, about 1-2 cm, add salt to taste and a tablespoon of butter or olive oil, stir a little. Next, you should set the mode depending on the multicooker model. This can be: "steam cooking", "pilaf", "quick", "buckwheat", "spaghetti", with a timer for 20 minutes. After the signal sounds, you should pay attention to how much water is left in the pan. If there is any, it needs to be drained. If you want the cooked pasta to be crispy and crunchy, you should leave it a little longer on the "heating", "baking" or "frying" mode. After that, you can add a little butter, cheese, cooked sausage to the finished dish, or you can immediately cook the pasta with sausages or a frankfurter.

How can you vary a dish from pasta?

You can complicate and diversify this a littledish, cooking navy-style macaroni. It will not be difficult to do this in a multicooker. First, you should decide how many servings the dinner will be calculated for in order to choose the right proportions. Pour some vegetable oil into the multicooker pan, chop the onion, carrot, bell pepper and simmer a little in the "frying", "baking" or "stewing" mode, depending on the model of the multicooker. Then add ground beef or pork (if you don't have it, stewed meat may do), salt, spices, herbs to taste and fry a little more until the meat becomes golden brown (after about 10 minutes), while not forgetting to stir it periodically in the multicooker. When the mince is ready, add the pasta and cook it as described earlier, pour in water so that it slightly covers all the contents of the multicooker, add a little butter or vegetable oil and cook until done for 20 minutes on the same modes that were indicated earlier, depending on the model of the multicooker ("steam cooking", "quick", "pilaf", "buckwheat", "spaghetti"). After the sound signal sounds, you can leave it for 10-20 minutes on the heating mode in the multicooker, then they will be better fried. It should be noted that even without constant stirring, the pasta does not turn out overcooked and does not stick together. However, if the cooking technology was not followed correctly, and the pasta still turned out a little overcooked, in this case, you should throw it in a colander and rinse with cold water. After that, you can prepare a casserole by placing the pasta in a saucepan and setting the "bake" mode in a multicooker for 40 minutes. Depending on your imagination and taste preferences, you can add tomato paste, tomatoes or your favorite sauce to the finished dish. However, you should be careful with the sauce. Perhaps, in this case, you should not salt the pasta in advance. If you decide to cook not pasta, but spaghetti, you should take into account a small nuance that you should take them out with special tongs. If you cook pasta in accordance with the above rules and recommendations, they should turn out tasty and crumbly. All that remains is to enjoy a tasty and healthy dinner.
