Can I add "stars" pasta or very small soup shells pasta to boxed chicken broth & make in the microwave? I have boxed chicken broth I want to quickly make in the microwave and I want to add either tiny stars pasta, or "small soup shells" pasta. Both pastas are tiny, about 1/4 inch width &amp; height. I don't have a stovetop available. How can I make everything in the microwave, preferably together/all at once? I would like a way to make about a quart at a time, including pasta, about 2-3 servings, maybe a quarter cup of pasta... I never made either of these pasta forms so don't know how big they will expand so I'm thinking a couple Tablespoons to a quarter cup dried pasta. 

Thanks for any help!
i's put the pasta in regular water and microwave them for a couple of minutes; try 3, 4 minutes and adjust for doneness.

Once they are done, add them to the already heated up soup.
