Spaghetti is a long, thin pasta that is a staple of Italian cuisine. It can be served with a variety of sauces, but the most popular is probably a simple tomato sauce.

Cooking spaghetti is easy, but there are a few things you need to know to make sure it comes out perfectly al dente.

Ingredients

- 1 pound of spaghetti

- 4 quarts of water

- 1 tablespoon of salt

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt and olive oil.

2. Add the spaghetti and stir gently. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente.

3. Drain the spaghetti and rinse it with cold water.

4. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Tips for Cooking Spaghetti

- To make sure the spaghetti cooks evenly, stir it occasionally while it is cooking.

- Don't overcook the spaghetti. It should be al dente, which means it should be firm to the bite.

- If you are not going to serve the spaghetti right away, you can store it in a colander in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

- When you are ready to serve the spaghetti, reheat it in a saucepan with a little bit of water until it is warm.
