The first step to making flavorful pasta is salting the water when cooking it! I’m talking like 1-2 tablespoons of salt for every 4 or 5 quarts of water. (Usually you will use about 4 quarts to cook a pound of pasta.) Add the pasta to the water after it comes to a boil. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally until it reaches al dente. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
