Microwave RISOTTO... quick, easy, cheap and safe
Cook rice in microwave with vegies and soup (you can use packet soup and water, or tinned, or whatever). You can add an egg or some grated cheese towards the end of cooking, meat or whatever else too. And yes, if you get the quantities right, it really does turn out like risotto.
PS You can cook ordinary pasta in the microwave, too... dont limit yourself to mac and cheese
