Ingredients
- 250 grams Pasta (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti, broken in half)
- 600 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Add the water, salt, and olive oil to the rice cooker pot.
Step 2
Turn on the rice cooker and allow the water to start heating up for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pasta to the pot, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the water.
Step 4
Cook the pasta in the rice cooker for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the water reduces too much, add a little more as needed.
Step 5
Once the pasta is al dente, drain any excess water, if present, and leave the pasta in the rice cooker pot.
Step 6
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the pasta in the rice cooker.
Step 7
Stir well to combine and continue cooking on the 'warm' or 'cook' setting for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the pasta immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if desired.
