How to make Spaghetti!
Start with a very large pot of water, about 6 quarts per pound of pasta. Bring it to a rapid boil. Tip: A pound of pasta feeds about 5 to 6 people.
Put in a lot of salt, about 3 tablespoons. If you taste the water, it should taste like the sea.
Drop in the pasta while the water is at a boil and give it a gentle stir.
Stir it occasionally while it cooks. Use the cooking time on the pasta package as a guide.
Drain the pasta. Just be sure to save about 1 cup of the pasta water. If you have a pot with a colander insert, use it to drain the pasta. If not, drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink.
Add the pasta to your sauce and finish cooking it in the sauce. Give it a stir to coat.
Ladle a few tablespoons of the pasta water at a time until you have the right consistency to your sauce. Remember, the pasta will absorb the liquid. Tip: Pasta water helps to thicken the sauce.THEN ENJOY!!!!
