  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt optional

  • Wash hands with soap and water.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot.
  • Add salt, if using, and pasta. Return to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook until pasta is soft on the outside and chewy on the inside, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occassionally. Cooking times will vary slightly with the thickness of the pasta.
