Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It took me a while to get the hang of how to prepare this stuff. When I follow the directions, it's cooked, but was desiccated, you know, dry with a not so good texture, even when I prepared it with sauce...just as a lot of reviewers mentioned. So, after a bit of experimenting, this is what I found: If I pop this in a deep microwave safe bowl, and add about 1/4 cup of water, cover it and cook it for around 2-2.5 minutes, it comes out with all the water absorbed, and tastes and feels like actual boiled pasta...soft and moist. Then I prepare it as I want, with sauce or whatever. The 2-2.5 extra minutes isn't a big deal, and so worth it.
