How people cook with it
Spaghetti is a foundational ingredient for countless meals. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and toppings.

To prepare spaghetti, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and stir 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. Return the drained spaghetti to the pot and toss with your favorite sauce. The reserved pasta water can be added to the sauce to help it emulsify and cling better to the pasta.
