Instructions:
Bring water to a boil in a good sized pot. After the water has reached a rolling boil,add the salt. Bring water back to boil and then add the pasta. There is no need to add oil. Stir to ensure that all pasta is in the water and that the pieces are separated.Cook 7 to 8 minutes for long cuts like spaghetti, 8 to 10 minutes for short cuts like penne.Remove a piece of pasta from the water and bite through the pasta to see if it is done; there should be a slight firmness on your tooth, called al dente, when the pasta is ready. Keep tasting until the texture is the way you like it. Drain the pasta in a colander and serve immediately with your favorite sauce. Serves 4 to 6.
