I have a great plastic dish designed for cooking rice in the microwave; we also use it for preparing instant noodles, and I bet it would work for making pasta in the microwave.
In Australia, Decor make microwave-safe plastic dishes (and non-microwave safe ones): of their ordinary dishes, the red ones are safe for cooking (as opposed to reheating), as is anything specifically marked 'microwave rice cooker'. I don't know what the situation is like overseas, but something like that might be worth investigating: my plastic rice cooker doesn't heat up very much while cooking.
