To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta 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 and toss immediately with your favorite sauce or ingredients. Avoid rinsing the pasta unless the recipe specifically calls for it, as the starch helps sauces adhere.
