To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

For the pasta

  • 6 (520g) chicken tenders, cut into medium size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups (300g) farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • cups (675ml) water chicken stock

For the bruschetta topping

  • 3 cups (450g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • (80ml) cup olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 18 basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or glaze
  • 3 cups (45g) baby arugula (optional)

Preparation

  1. Add the chicken, olive oil, paprika, pasta, stock and salt to the Anyday dish and stir to combine.
  2. Cook uncovered for 11-12 minutes, or until the pasta is fully cooked.
  3. While the pasta cooks, mix the tomatoes, diced onions, basil, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in separate bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste and set aside.
  4. Add the bruschetta topping in with the chicken and pasta, and mx well. Toss arugula into the pasta for extra color and freshness, if desired.

Suggestions

  • Double the bruschetta topping and store it separately for leftovers. Use it to top toasted bread, scrambled eggs, hot pasta, and more.
  • Serve with plenty of parmesan cheese and a decent Italian wine!
  • For a Mediterranean spin, add spinach, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Opt for ready-to-use bruschetta topping or even mild salsa if fresh ingredients aren’t available.

Recipe Notes

  • For a pescatarian option, substitute the chicken with cubed sword fish or peeled and deveined shrimp.
  • If the water overflows, you can switch to a Large Deep or Extra Large, or reduce to Power Level 8 and then continue cooking.
  • Top the cooked pasta with mozzarella cheese and finish in a 450°F oven for a crispy topping.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
