How do I cook spaghetti?


Spaghetti is a popular noodle dish. To cook spaghetti, fill a pot with water and add 1-2 teaspoons of salt. Heat the water until it is boiling and then place the spaghetti into the pot. Wait 10-15 minutes, take one noodle out with a fork, and bite into it to see if the noodle is soft. If not wait 2 minutes are repeat until the spaghetti noodles become soft. At this point, turn off the heat under the pot, and strain the spaghetti to separate it from the water. Place the spaghetti onto a plate or bowl, and add any sauce if desired. Some people add additional seasoning, including salt, pepper, meat, garlic, and mushrooms.
