I make spaghetti pasta, put a ready-made sauce from the store (one from a jar), put a grated cheese on top and cook in microwave for 2 minutes.

I still need to do some work here, but I have done it so many many times for my brain it's like putting on shoes or brushing mt teeth, do not think about it. And it's still relatively nice meal for me, I just like it so much I can eat it very often without having enough. This might be the key, find what you like that takes less than 30 minuts and require no attention (like constant checking or mixing) and just get used to it.

You cook the pasta in water and then you put it back in the microwave with the sauce? Or is this like cold, pre-cooked pasta?

Cook in the water. The microwave is to heat up the sauce and cheese.
