Can I add "stars" pasta or very small soup shells pasta to boxed chicken broth & make in the microwave?
I have boxed chicken broth I want to quickly make in the microwave and I want to add either tiny stars pasta, or "small soup shells" pasta. Both pastas are tiny, about 1/4 inch width & height. I don't have a stovetop available. How can I make everything in the microwave, preferably together/all at once? I would like a way to make about a quart at a time, including pasta, about 2-3 servings, maybe a quarter cup of pasta... I never made either of these pasta forms so don't know how big they will expand so I'm thinking a couple Tablespoons to a quarter cup dried pasta.
Thanks for any help!

Great idea! And yes, I add chicken broth/stock to replace water in many things. You may need additional seasoning, but just like the previous answer above, you just need to bring the liquid to a boil in the microwave, so 5-6 minutes should do it! I would leave the pasta to rest for a couple minutes extra to ensure it absorbed enough broth to become tender.
i's put the pasta in regular water and microwave them for a couple of minutes; try 3, 4 minutes and adjust for doneness.
Once they are done, add them to the already heated up soup.
