Method for To cook dried pasta:

1

Prepare all the ingredients.

In a large saucepan filled 3/4 full with water, add a generous pinch of coarse salt and a drizzle of oil.

"Al dente" cooking is ideal. According to pasta manufacturers, time of cooking may vary several minutes. However, pasta must remain slightly firm to obtain this result. The best way to check "al dente" cooking is to drain them or to test thier consistency by pinching with your finger nails.
