How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a versatile pasta that forms the base of many classic and contemporary meals. It pairs well with a wide range of sauces and toppings.
- With marinara sauce
- With pesto
- In baked pasta dishes
- With a simple butter and cheese
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti with your chosen sauce immediately, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
