How to Cook Spaghetti

Are you throwing pasta at your kitchen wall to check for doneness? If yes, take a look at my top ten tips on how to cook spaghetti pasta like an Italian nonna.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

START WITH A LARGE POT To cook pasta properly, you need a large deep pot that can hold a lot of water.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

USE LOTS OF COLD WATER To cook one pound of pasta (454 grams), bring at least 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of cold water to a rolling boil.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

ADD KOSHER SALT SO IT “TASTES LIKE THE SEA” Once the 4 quarts of water (3.8 liters) come to a rolling boil, add 1 heaping tablespoon of kosher salt.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

FREQUENT STIRRING As soon as you add your pasta to the boiling water, it is crucial to stir. A long handle wooden fork is ideal for this job.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

AVOID ADDING OIL There is no advantage to adding oil. Contrary to popular belief, adding a little olive oil does not prevent the pasta from sticking together.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

COVER THE POT Slowly add the pasta, stir immediately, then cover the pot. Remove the cover immediately when the water returns to a rolling boil.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

TASTE FOR DONENESS Use the estimated cooking times indicated on the packaging as a guideline for when the pasta is done.

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

RESERVE THE PASTA WATER Before draining the pasta, remove 1-2 cups of the starchy pasta water and set it aside. This can help loosen the sauce.

AVOID RINSING DRAINED PASTA

SHELOVESBISCOTTI.COM

TOSS THE DRAINED PASTA QUICKLY WITH THE WARM SAUCE
