What it is

How people cook with it
Spaghetti is incredibly versatile and forms the base for many popular dishes. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces.

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 has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It is then ready to be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or incorporated into casseroles. Ensure you use enough water so the pasta can move freely while cooking.
