To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the angel hair pasta and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for a short time, usually 3 to 5 minutes, until al dente, which means it should still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta immediately and toss with your chosen sauce or ingredients. Overcooking can make it mushy, so watch it closely. It is best served right away.
