To prepare spaghetti, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried spaghetti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water.
