Can't remember where I read this...Frugal Gourmet, mebbe. Anyway. You bring your water to a boil and put in your pasta, bring it back to a boil, giving it a stir or two. Cover, take off the burner, and leave it sit for 20 minutes. That's it. Seems to work with any kind of pasta, and I have only had a problem with it sticking together a couple of times. So I am wondering if it could be done with the milk. Hmm…I wonder if it would be possible to use my “standard” method of cooking pasta with this.

You'd asked for my feedback if I used gluten-free noodles. The only problem was that gluten-free noodles tend to be a lot more delicate than regular ones and they don't hold up to a lot of stirring and handling. Consequently, the noodles started to fall apart a bit by the time it was done. They also took a bit longer to cook and didn't absorb all the liquid so it was a little soupier than I'd expected. Gluten-free noodles are a Godsend, but they sometimes require some creative fiddling with to work in regular recipes. Oh, and I made about 1 1/2 of the recipe to feed the four of us. It didn't look like a whole lot of food, but it was VERY filling. My kids aren't usually filled up after one bowl of anything ... but they were with this. Very tasty too. :-) I made it the other night and everybody liked it! You’d asked for my feedback if I used gluten-free noodles.

Perhaps I should have made this instead! Looks tasty – I just made macaroni and cheese tonight, but I assure you it took me much more than 15 minutes. Perhaps I should have made this instead!

Yummy ... I wonder how well gluten-free noodles would hold up in this? Might actually be something the gluten-avoiders in my house could eat. Mmm!
