It would seem that such a simple dish as pasta, there is no need to cook. But it wasn’t that it was much more convenient to cook pasta in it. There is no need to bring the water to a boil, stir the pasta and drain the water. Everything is much simpler. How? Look below...
How to cook pasta in the Polaris 0517 multicooker:
1. For 200 g of pasta you will need 350 ml of water. A small piece of butter and salt to taste. It is better to use durum pasta.
2. Pour pasta into the multicooker bowl and add water (the water should be slightly higher than the pasta, but no more). Add oil, salt and mix. Add the oil immediately so that they do not stick together during the cooking process. There is also no need to rinse them under cold water.
3. The Polaris 0517 multicooker has a wonderful “Pasta” program, which is designed to evaporate water. Let's turn it on. Cooking time will depend on your type of pasta. I set it to 9 minutes. Look at the packaging; there are usually recommendations for cooking time. If you do not have the “pasta” program, install the “Pilaf” program, it is also designed for evaporation. Or if there is a “multi-cook”, set it to 100 degrees, time from 7 to 12 minutes.
4. After the sound signal, the pasta in the Polaris multicooker will be completely ready for use. You don't even need to drain the water. They were cooked for me, but didn’t have time to fry. I think if you leave them on the heat for another 5-10 minutes after the end of the program, they will fry on the bottom, which is also not bad. And some people will like it even better.
5. By the way, immediately when cooking pasta, you can install a grill with vegetables. 9 - 12 minutes will be enough to cook them.
6. You can add grated carrots to the pasta itself. Then they will turn out bright and cheerful. (I made these pasta with carrots another time)

Pasta turns out just as tasty as on a gas stove. However, in a modern kitchen device, they are much easier to prepare.

After this time, the device should signal that the water is boiling. After this, put the pasta into the hot liquid, mix it thoroughly and repeat the heat treatment, but for 10 minutes. Upon completion of cooking, you need to discard the side dish in a colander, rinse it under cold running water and wait for it to drain completely.
How to make a sauce for a side dish?
Pasta in the Polaris multicooker turns out much tastier and more satisfying if you make it with minced meat and cheese. To do this, you need to take lean pork, wash it well and grind it in a meat grinder. Next, the finished minced meat must be placed in the bowl of the device along with chopped onions, salt, butter, pepper and fried in the appropriate program (“Frying”) for 16-20 minutes.

It would be nice to prepare such a delicious dish as a casserole for your loved ones. It should be noted that children especially love it. That is why, once again thinking about what to make quickly and tasty for your beloved child, be sure to remember this recipe.

Cooking the base
Pasta in the multicooker "Polaris-0517AD" is prepared in almost the same way as in the previous recipe. To do this, pour table salt to taste into the bowl of the device and pour in regular drinking water. Having set the “Pasta” mode, you need to wait for the liquid to boil, and then pour in the pasta (it is advisable to purchase ones made from durum wheat). Resuming the same program (for 5-6 minutes), the products should be cooked until they are partially soft. Next, place the pasta in a colander and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Preparing the egg filling
In order for the pasta to set well, be sure to fill it with your own homemade dressing. To do this, you need to beat 20% cream vigorously, and then add chicken eggs, table salt, allspice and other favorite seasonings to it. Stir - you should get a liquid egg mass with a pleasant aroma of spices.
Shaping and baking process
After the filling and pasta are prepared, you should proceed to the actual formation of the dish. To do this, place a piece of butter in the bowl of the device and melt it in the “Frying” program. Next, you need to place the boiled pasta in the bowl and, without stirring, level its surface with a spoon. After this, the side dish should be completely filled with creamy egg dressing, sprinkled with a small amount of grated cheese, tightly closed and set to baking for 20 minutes. During this time, the dish should completely set.
How to serve it correctly?
After the casserole is ready, it needs to be cooled slightly, and then cut into portions and placed on plates. It is advisable to serve this dish with tomato or cream sauce.
As you can see, there is nothing difficult about cooking pasta in a slow cooker. If your kitchen appliance does not have a special “Pasta” program, then you can cook the side dish in the pilaf or stew mode. But in this case, the cooking time should be increased by a few minutes.
Pasta has long been one of the most popular side dishes, although using a saucepan is not so easy to prepare something delicious. If you figure out how to cook pasta in a slow cooker, this problem can be quickly solved. Housewives using modern devices from the Redmond, Polaris, Tefal or Panasonic brands are able to prepare a real culinary masterpiece even from such a simple component. With this approach, it is not necessary to limit yourself to the banal boiling of the product; sauces, vegetables, meat, and various dressings are used.
Regardless of which device is used - Polaris, Redmond or their analogues, you need to adhere to basic recommendations for boiling the product:
- The pasta is first immersed in the bowl of the device, after which it is filled with water. The liquid must completely cover the products.
- Be sure to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the water, otherwise the dish will turn into a sticky lump.
- In multicookers Redmond, Polaris and most others, the “Pasta”, “Pilaf”, and Steam modes are suitable for processing pasta.”
- The duration of treatment depends on the recommended time on the product packaging and averages 7-12 minutes. You need to add 2 minutes to the indicated indicator.
Despite the existence of basic rules, you can get a high-quality result only through regular use of methods and their independent correction. It is best to start with basic options for boiling the product, after which it is possible to complicate the approaches by introducing additional components.
Original recipe for making shells
- For 400 g of shells we take 0.5 kg of minced chicken, one onion, a glass of hard grated cheese, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, some herbs and salt.
- First, prepare the filling for the pasta by frying the minced meat with finely chopped onion. Add salt and spices to taste. We carry out processing until ready.
Tip: For cooking in a slow cooker, it is best to use large versions of pasta, which so often remain undercooked when using a saucepan. They reach readiness quite quickly and are not overcooked.
- We fill each element of pasta with prepared minced meat and place it in the Redmond multicooker. Carefully fill the pieces with cold water, covering no more than a couple of centimeters. Salt the liquid; you can place a couple of bay leaves on its surface.
- The optimal version of the program is “Pilaf”. If the pasta is large and dense, then the processing is carried out within 40 minutes. Otherwise, you first need to set the timer for 20 minutes and then act according to the circumstances.
Place the finished product on plates and sprinkle with grated cheese mixed with chopped herbs. Serve hot.
Classic pasta preparation
In the Polaris multicooker, if desired, you can prepare a wide variety of pasta dishes, but it is recommended to start with basic approaches.
- For 250 g of any pasta, take 350 ml of water, a teaspoon of butter and a little salt.
- Place the pasta in a bowl. Finely chop the butter and place the pieces on the workpiece. Next, pour water along the wall. The liquid must cover the products completely. Add the whole mixture and close the lid.
- The Polaris multicooker has a “Pasta” mode, in which the product can be cooked due to the slow evaporation of water, due to which it cooks evenly. Processing time ranges from 7 to 9 minutes depending on the type of pasta.
- If the design of the device allows you to install a grate, then you can steam vegetables at the same time as the pasta.
Season the finished products with spices, sprinkle with grated cheese, and serve with cheese or cream sauce.
How can you prepare pasta in the form of nests?
Nests, which are not at all easy to boil in a regular pan of water, can be prepared using a Panasonic multicooker or other similar devices.
- For 8 nests we will need 300 g of minced chicken, two-thirds of a glass of grated hard cheese, water, 3 tablespoons of ketchup or tomato paste, a couple of small onions, spices and salt to taste.
- We place the nests in the multicooker so that the distance between them is minimal, but the products do not touch. Mix the minced meat with chopped onion, add salt and spices. Place the filling in the nests and coat the top with ketchup.
- Pour water into the bowl along the side and add some salt. The liquid should only reach the middle height of the nest.
- We select the “Pilaf” mode, which will first start the steaming process and then lightly fry the workpieces. We choose the time ourselves. Depending on the density and thickness of the products, it can range from 12 to 25 minutes.
Place the finished nests on plates, sprinkle with grated cheese, and you can additionally decorate the dish with herbs. In this case, you should not try to replace the minced chicken with beef, it may remain raw. And if you increase the exposure time, the texture of the pasta will noticeably suffer.
Description:
Probably everyone loves pasta. And it seems like there is nothing easier than cooking pasta. Boil water, throw the pasta into it and remove it when ready, throwing it in a colander. Yes, this is a traditional way of preparing pasta; you can cook it in the Polaris 0517 multicooker using the “Pasta” program.
A very convenient program, because when the water boils, it gives a sound signal that it is time to throw the pasta into the water. And it cooks them for as long as the person set on the display before starting work.

And with this method of cooking pasta, two programs will be used - multi-cook and the not very famous “Baking” program. At its core, this program resembles “Frying”, and why a separate button was allocated for it is unclear.
