Cooking Pasta

Ingredients:

• 250 g spaghetti pasta
• 2 l water
• 5 g Salt

Procedure

1. Pour at least 4 quarts of water per gram of pasta into the pot. Add salt and bring to a boil.
2. Have the water boiling rapidly and drop in the pasta. Continue to boil and stir a few times to keep it from sticking together and to the bottom.
3. As soon as the pasta is al dente ("to the tooth" or the pasta is cooked long enough to be firm to bite), drain immediately in a colander and rinse with cold running water until the pasta is completely cooled.
4. Toss gently with a small amount of oil to keep it from sticking.
