Oh, and I forgot to add-- For cooking, you'll want a microwave safe bowl, probably ceramic or pyrex if you can lift one. Plastics in the microwave can be iffy. Some don't hold up well. Some may leach chemicals into the food. I still use some plastics in our microwave (a spoon tradeoff), but I'm careful to stick with those packaged as microwave safe.
The size of the bowl will depend on the size of the microwave (you might want to measure before shopping) and on what you can reliably lift. A larger bowl will let you make bigger batches of pasta but will also be harder to lift.
I do recommend caution after cooking the pasta. The bowl will probably be hot, and you could burn yourself on it if you're not careful. Some bowls heat up more than their contents do.
