Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
Carmina has a best friend she has been asking what I have been eating. I had informed her I have been cooking pasta noodles in the rice cooker.
She was curious how it is possible to cook pasta in your rice cooker. I said, it is easy just add water in the pot where you normally add water and press the bottom by plugging the plug to the socket.
The water begins to blow add enough pasta inside for example our packages is by kilo. I only add half kilo to the pot and set my timer for fifteen minutes.
I stir it with my rice spoon nothing metal, so it doesn't scratch the rice cooker pot.
I don't add any oil, but you can if you want too.
Once in a while I check it and open the lid slightly open prevent the water to overflow. Stir it so it doesn't stick the pot next you know it is already cooked. I use the steamer that comes with the rice cooker to strain the pasta noodles.
Transfer the cooked pasta in a plastic container and prepare the sauce and toppings to your pasta.
In any country there are instant pasta sauce that are premade all you need to add whatever ingredients you want to eat along with your Three-Cheese Pasta. I had added fresh spinach. I had also cook it inside the rice cooker with the same process add water, press the button on rice cooker and wait until the water was boiling to add the spinach.
How do you know when the spinach is cooked?
The color will change turning green.
Strain the spinach and add it to your cooked pasta noodles that is already mixed into the three-cheese pasta sauce.
