I found this one on here a little while ago..there are some great add in suggestions on the thread but I don't know how to put a link to the thread on here..but if you search DCB Pasta you will find it..it says Pasta Bake in DCB.
I have made this..and I love it.
Take 1 box of pasta (I used penne) and dump into the DCB.
Spray the pasta with the oil mister, lightly coating and turning the pasta.
Cover the pasta with water (just cover, no extra).
Cover with lid and Microwave for 6-8 minutes. Open lid and stir pasta. Cover and microwave for an additional 6-8 minutes until al-dente.
Stir pasta again. (water should be gone!)
Add 1 jar of pasta sauce, 1 cup shredded mozzerella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 tsp italian seasoning. Stir into pasta.
Cover with lid and microwave for 8-10 minutes until mozzerella is melted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good pasta recipe for a bridal shower?
A great pasta recipe for a bridal shower is a creamy pesto pasta. You can cook your favorite pasta, toss it with homemade or store-bought pesto, and add cherry tomatoes, spinach, and grilled chicken or shrimp for protein. Finish it off with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a delicious dish that guests will love.
Can I make pasta ahead of time for a bridal shower?
Yes, you can prepare pasta ahead of time! Cook the pasta and toss it with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Store it in the refrigerator and reheat it gently before serving. If you're making a sauce, you can prepare that in advance as well and combine everything just before serving.
What type of pasta is best for a bridal shower?
For a bridal shower, consider using pasta shapes that are easy to serve and eat, such as penne, fusilli, or farfalle. These shapes hold sauces well and are visually appealing on a buffet table. You can also consider a baked pasta dish, like lasagna or baked ziti, which can be made in advance and served warm.
How can I make a pasta dish vegetarian for a bridal shower?
To make a vegetarian pasta dish, you can use a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and spinach. Pair these with a flavorful sauce, such as marinara or a creamy Alfredo made with plant-based ingredients. You can also add protein with beans or lentils for a hearty option.
What are some tips for serving pasta at a bridal shower?
When serving pasta at a bridal shower, consider using chafing dishes to keep the pasta warm. Offer a variety of sauces on the side, such as marinara, Alfredo, and pesto, so guests can customize their plates. Don't forget to provide plenty of utensils and serving spoons, and consider garnishing with fresh herbs or grated cheese for an extra touch.
