How to Cook Spaghetti:
In a large pot, bring 4 - 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil, add salt to taste.
Add pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently.
Return to a boil. For authentic "al dente" pasta, boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes.
For more tender pasta, boil an additional 1 minute.
Remove from heat, drain well and serve with your favorite pasta sauce immediately.
