How to make spaghetti

 

Now that you know how to boil water, you can make spaghetti!

 

If you are cooking 4 to 8 ounces of spaghetti, you should use about 3 quarts of water.  Add a pinch of salt  to the water for seasoning or a few drops of olive oil, which helps prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.

The spaghetti should not be placed into the water until it is fully boiling.. The spaghetti should be added a little bit at a time to ensure the water does not stop boiling. Spaghetti should be cooked uncovered, and the heat can be slightly reduced if needed to avoid the water from boiling over.

Spaghetti noodles that are cooked properly will have a firm texture, but not hard.

After draining in a colander, add the spaghetti to your sauce.  Serve from there.
