Directions

Line slow cooker with foil collar and spray with vegetable oil.

Toss pasta in a little oil and microwave at 50 percent power, stirring occasionally, until some pieces look toasted and blistered, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove collar, stir pasta to combine, and adjust consistency with hot water as needed.
