How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a fundamental ingredient for countless pasta dishes. It pairs well with both light and hearty sauces.

To prepare spaghetti, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried spaghetti to the boiling water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti immediately with your chosen sauce and serve hot.
