Lazier Pasta

I just wrote a post about an article here by "I'm a Lazy Mom" on how to make macaroni and cheese entirely in the microwave.  After investigation, I learned that the average box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese has 1 1/4 cups of tiny macaroni, so I would guess that you could use this method for a similar type of pasta- I would say small and/or thin would work best, but I haven't experimented yet-- if I do I'll let you know.  You could then, of course, add your own sauce or whatever else you put on pasta.  Especially in the summer, I like to top pasta with only EVOO, italian seasoning and parmesan cheese.   Just a thought.
