I've made pasta in the microwave quite recently, but I don't think my experiences would be helpful, since the microwave I've been using is very large and old and low-powered.
On the subject of storing cooked pasta in the fridge, however, I'd like to recommend ziploc bags! They're flexible to fit into whatever space is available and take up less and less space as you use up their contents. I usually toss my cooked, drained pasta with a little olive oil and let it come down closer to room temperature before bagging it.

Good luck!
