This simple recipe can be embellished upon, or just thrown together as-is. It's written for a ten cup cooker but can be cut down for a 5 or 7 cup. You can sub other pasta for the spaghetti, I just tried it with linguine. Members of the rice cooker cookbook group on yahoo also say this works with alfredo sauce too. From SallysKitchen.com.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb pasta
2 1/2 cups water
26 ounces marinara sauce
meatballs (optional) or sausage (optional)

Steps:

  • If you have raw meat or sausage you'd like to add, first cook them in the rice cooker pan on Quick Cook or Cook setting.
  • If you have spaghetti or linguine, break it in half and layer the dry pasta in the rice cooker pan with the meat, if there is any. For other types of pasta you won't need to break it to fit it in the pot. Add water and sauce.
  • Turn on rice cooker to cook. Stir frequently. When it shuts down to warm, check the pasta to be sure it's done. If it isn't quite done, add some water, stir and turn on to cook again.
  • For Vegetarian omit the ground beef, meatballs and the sausage.

PASTA IN A RICE COOKER 2007



Pasta in a Rice Cooker 2007 image

This is simple, while you are making your salad, slicing the bread, pouring your wine, and setting the table, your meal will be made all in twenty minutes. This does not come out starchy, it cooked exactly right. Give it a try in your rice cooker soon. Please remember the sauce you use should be the one that you like the best. Measure accurately the water, sauce, and the pasta. Do not think heaping is the same as two cups, if you do, then you are risking a starchy saucey result. Also I have used rigatoni and penne always with good result.

Time 25m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water or 2 cups broth, of choice
1 cup homemade tomato sauce
1/4 cup cooked ground beef (optional) or 1/4 cup bulk cooked hot sausage (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 cup romano cheese
2 cups uncooked rigatoni pasta or 2 cups penne

Steps:

  • Place all in rice cooker in order given, and stir once. Add the salt depending on the saltiness of the cheese you are using, salt is an option.
  • Close lid and flip the switch to on.
  • When cooker turns off, open stir, and close again leave on warm for two or three minutes or until ready to serve.
  • I pan fry any bulk meat and freeze in 1/4 cup pack size, and also pack sauce into 1 cup size. Then if I want this I just take it out earlier in the day and defrost, that way this is always something to make.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice cooker. Not all rice cookers are created equal. Some models may not have the necessary settings or capacity to cook pasta properly. Look for a rice cooker with a "pasta" or "multi-grain" setting, and make sure it's large enough to accommodate the amount of pasta you want to cook.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. Just like when cooking pasta on the stovetop, it's important to measure your ingredients carefully when cooking pasta in a rice cooker. Too much or too little water can result in pasta that's undercooked or overcooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the rice cooker. When cooking pasta in a rice cooker, it's important to not overcrowd the pot. This can prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Stir the pasta occasionally. While the pasta is cooking, stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Drain the pasta when it's done cooking. Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it in a colander and rinse it with cold water.

Conclusion:

Cooking pasta in a rice cooker is a quick, easy, and convenient way to get a delicious meal on the table. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook pasta in your rice cooker like a pro. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to cook pasta, give your rice cooker a try. You won't be disappointed.
