To cook spaghetti, bring a large pot of 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 tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly, reserving a small amount of the cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti with your favorite sauce immediately. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify the sauce and coat the pasta evenly.
