How to Make Perfect Pasta

Use at least four quarts of water for each pound of pasta.

Cover the pot and bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat.

Salt the water generously before adding the pasta.

Stir in the pasta once the water is boiling.

Stir the pasta to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

Test the pasta by removing a piece and biting into it to check doneness.

Drain the pasta well without rinsing it to keep the surface starch.

Return the drained pasta to the warm cooking pot and combine it with the sauce.
