Since no one with one has answered (added - whilst typing this) - according to this link, you can cook fresh pasta in a steamer, but not dried. Logic says that dried pasta needs to absorb a lot of water! |

My steamer has a rice cooker, a shallow oval bowl that you fill with water and rice and put in the steamer. |

Microwaved food continues to cook after you've removed it. |

I always used to cook my pasta in a large plastic jug in the microwave. Do you have a slow cooker you could plug in for the bolognese sauce? Otherwise Det's idea is the way I would do it too |
