Instructions
- Fill a large stock pot with 6 quarts of water. Add 1 tbs salt. Apply the lid. Heat over high heat on the stove top until it comes to a rolling boil.
- Add the pasta all at once to the water, stir. Reapply the lid to the pot and return to a boil. Stir frequently. Keep at a rolling boil for 10 minutes and stir frequently to keep pasta from stick together.
- Taste the pasta for doneness. Refer to the box for the correct cooking time, but it will be about 10 minutes.
- When pasta is done to the desired firmness, drain in a colander and then add the pasta to the sauce. Serve hot.
Notes
- PRO TIP: Use a large pot with plenty of water for your pasta, this allows the pasta enough room to cook sufficiently so that it doesn't stick together.
- Add a generous amount of salt to your pasta water (1 Tbs).
- Do Not add oil to the pasta water.
- Taste the pasta for doneness.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and allow it to heat gently for a few minutes.
