Some recipes call for adding the butter before cooking the pasta, but this can lead to a mess during the quick release process.
Butter: A little butter adds richness. You can also add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard, if desired. I use paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in this recipe. Seasonings: A few simple seasonings flavor the pasta as it cooks. For extra flavor, you can substitute all or part of the water with chicken broth. Water: The pasta absorbs all of the water as it cooks. I recommend using elbow macaroni pasta, but other short pasta shapes, such as shells, will also work. Elbow Pasta: You can use white pasta or whole wheat pasta in this recipe. Try it yourself, and wait for the compliments to roll in!
