To cook spaghetti, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly. Serve hot.
