1. Plunge the pasta (spaghetti, fettucine, linguine, spaghetinni etc) into a large quantity of boiling water - 2 litres (9 cups) per 250g pasta.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 litre water (unless any additional ingredients are to be highly seasoned)
3. Gently stir the pasta so it doesnt stick together.
4. Keep the water boiling at a constant rate.
5. Drain the water when the pasta is cooked (al-dente; you would see white color in the middle of the pasta).
6. Season immediately.
7. If pasta is not to be used immediately, drain in and keep it hot mixed 1 tablespoon of oil (olive or cooking oil - so it doesnt stick together)
8. When ready to use next time, plunge it into boiling water (to heat), drain and add other ingredients.
9. enjoy your pasta!!
