Ideal for college dorm rooms, this recipe will satisfy a serious Italian food craving and takes just minutes to prepare using only a microwave. Can also be cooked on the stovetop. Add a variety of extra veggies for a healthier, more filling meal. Top with cheese and serve with crusty garlic bread, grilled chicken, or a fresh salad. And of course a big glass of wine!

Made as written except that I chose to serve my sauce on top instead of mixed in. This is a great recipe for college kids. Obviously it could use a little more but it is what it is. The spinach got overcooked for me so next time I'd add it to the water after the noodles were cooked and let it soak for a minute or so before draining. I typically always add spinach to my ramen noodles. It gives them some color and incorporates some freshness to them. Again, this is a great recipe for a dorm where the microwave is the only thing available.
