These noodles will leave you wanting more every time. I cannot get enough of these noodles. But the regular instructions are terrible. Here are my awesome and helpful instructions if you want your spaghetti bolognese to be perfect. Fill the cup with hot or room temperature water JUST ABOVE THE NOODLES, AND JUST BELOW THE FILL LINE. Stir contents fully, remove lid fully, and microwave that sucker for 1 minute 35 seconds, and let it sit for a minute in the microwave when it's done. It's SO MUCH less watery if you do it this way, and if the noodles aren't fully cooked, pop it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir and enjoy. No one knows the true beauty of this meal cup when cooked properly. My first experience with this meal cup was much less enjoyable with the original instructions. ALL I'M SAYING IS, if you want the best experience you gotta follow my advice. No but for real 10/10 love this thing. I'm an average joe which is why I rate it so highly but if you're Sir Colonel Fancypants Class A III then this might not be for you.
