Step 2: Measure the water

Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the pasta. A general rule of thumb is to use 4 cups of water for every 1 cup of pasta.

Step 3: Add salt (optional)

If you want to add flavor to your pasta, add 1-2 tablespoons of salt to the water.

Step 4: Bring to a boil

Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Step 5: Add pasta

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the pasta to the pot. Make sure to stir gently to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

Step 6: Cook the pasta

Return the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the pasta cook for the recommended time on the package, usually between 8-12 minutes, or until it's al dente (firm to the bite).

Step 7: Drain and serve

Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Your pasta is now ready to be served with your favorite sauce!

Some additional tips:

\* Use a timer to ensure you don't overcook the pasta.

\* Don't overcrowd the pot, as this can cause the pasta to stick together.

\* If you're cooking a long, thin pasta like spaghetti, you can use a pasta spoon or fork to help it cook evenly.
