To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried spaghetti, stirring 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 thoroughly, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving bowl and toss immediately with your desired sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce adhere.
