Notes
Make sure you use a big enough pot. The pasta can expand up to three times in normal size.
Use enough water to completely cover pasta and allow an inch or two on top.
Add a little salt to your water to make it boil faster.
Add the pasta after the water has come to a boil.
Cook pasta until al dente. You want there to still be some resistance to the pasta when you bite into it. The pasta will continue to cook after you remove it from the water so don’t over cook the pasta. You don’t want your pasta mushy or gummy.
Drain the pasta when it has reached the desired softness. Do not rinse your pasta with cold water. The starch that is on the noodles gives it flavor and helps the sauce to stick to it.
