Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

20 c Water
2 tb Salt
1 lb Dried pasta

Basics for new cooks:

In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil.
Stir in pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered
and stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until tender but firm.
Drain well.

Tip: Fine strands and small shapes of dried pasta cook in as little
as 3 minutes.

Tip: If pasta is to be coated with a sauce, do not rinse. The starchy
coating on pasta aids in holding sauce to the pasta.
