Ingredients

  • 1 packet of ramen noodles weighing 3 ounces, excluding the flavor packet
  • A generous handful of fresh baby spinach
  • Sufficient water to cover
  • ¼ cup of savory pasta sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, or as desired
  • 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese

Step 1

Begin by breaking the block of ramen into 4 equal pieces, embracing the satisfying snap of the noodles. Nestle them gently into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, and scatter a handful of vibrant spinach leaves over the top, creating a verdant bed for the noodles to rest upon. Carefully fill the bowl with water, allowing the liquid to envelop the noodles like a warm hug, ensuring they are fully submerged in their aquatic cocoon.

Step 2

Place the bowl in the microwave, anticipating the gentle hum of its magic at work. Set the timer for 3 1/2 minutes, allowing the noodles to cook and the spinach to gracefully wilt under the microwave's watchful gaze. As the timer counts down, you can almost smell the comforting aroma of a delicious meal in the making.

Step 3

When the microwave chimes its cheerful tune, carefully remove the bowl, taking care not to burn yourself on its warm exterior. Pour out any excess water, ensuring that your dish remains perfectly balanced in its flavors and textures. Now, it's time to add a touch of pizzazz to your creation. Drizzle a generous dollop of pasta sauce over the noodles, scattering sun-dried tomatoes like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

Step 4

A splash of fragrant olive oil swirls elegantly through the dish, enhancing each bite with its golden richness. Gently mix everything together, ensuring that each noodle is lovingly coated in the flavorful sauce. Return the bowl to the microwave for a quick 30 seconds, allowing the sauce to warm and infuse every bite with its savory essence.

Step 5

As a final touch, sprinkle a generous handful of Parmesan cheese over the top, the snowy dusting adding a touch of decadence to your humble creation. The cheese melts slightly, creating a tantalizing crust that beckons you to dive in and savor each mouthful. Your dish is now complete, a masterpiece of flavors and textures waiting to be enjoyed.
