Reddit mentions of Microwave Pasta Cooker- The Original Fasta Pasta Family Size- Cooks up to 8 Servings of Pasta- No Mess, Sticking, or Waiting for Water to Boil

You're welcome! Making blocks of brown butter was worth buying them for that feature alone! If you don't need an army-sized quantity of pasta, I have a great little kitchen tool called the Fasta Pasta ($15 shipped on Amazon) that lets you microwave your noodles:

  My procedure is:
  
  

1. Fill with the dry noodles you want (about halfway max)
   
2. Fill to inner lip with water
   
3. Microwave for 15 minutes (I have a 1250-watt microwave, for reference)
   
4. Attach lid & drain over sink
   
   This actually does a phenomenal job of making al dente pasta! You'll have to adjust it according to your microwave; it comes with an instruction sheet, but I pretty much just fill it up with noodles halfway & then fill the rest with water to the inner lining & it does a good job regardless of what shape of pasta I use. It makes enough for 1 or 2 people. They did come out with a larger family-sized model, but I haven't tried it: (yet...lol)

  The unit is nice because:
  
  

1. You don't have to boil water on the stove first
   
2. You don't have to babysit it (no stirring required)
   
3. When finished in the microwave, you just pop the lid on & drain it using the vent slits in the lid, then load into a bowl or plate & rinse out the container, super easy!
   
   Then you can grab a stick of brown butter & add it to your pasta as desired! Here's a good, simple starter recipe: (when draining, put a 1/2-cup measuring cup in the sink & fill, so that you can save half a cup of the pasta water for the recipe)

  The combo of the Fasta Pasta & Souper Cubes is nice because if you're feeling both hungry & lazy, you can have a meal for one (or two) with hardly any effort at all, and it's not some cheapo dish like Chef Boyardee (nothing against them!) - it's legit pasta with, in this case, brown butter & Parmesan! For this recipe, all you have to do is:
  
  

1. Prepare the brown butter in the Souper Cubes ahead of time
   
2. Cook the pasta of your choice in the Fasta Pasta for 15 minutes & save 1/2 cup of the pasta water
   
3. Melt a stick of your brown butter down in a skillet & turn off the heat
   
4. Toss with the pasta & then stir in the cheese until melted
   
5. Stir in the pasta water a tablespoon at a time until glossy (you probably won't need the whole half-cup)
   
6. Serve topped with freshly-ground black pepper & more Parm on top
   
   As far as the Parmesan goes, I vac-seal & freeze my cheese for storage, then shred with a Salad Shooter: (electric shredder)
