Cooking the Pasta

When cooking pasta use a large pot with lots of salted water. The more water the less likely the pasta will stick together or be starchy.

Bring the water to a boil then add the dry spaghetti.

Boil uncovered - Stir pasta often to prevent it sticking together and allow for an even cooking of the noodles.

Set timer for 7 minutes and check pasta. May take as long as 15 minutes.

Pasta should be slightly firm when bitten and have a consistent colour and texture through out.

Remove pasta from heat and drain water, or run cold water into pot.
