To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the entire package of thin spaghetti to the boiling water. Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for 7-9 minutes, until the pasta is al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander. Rinse with cool water if you are not serving it immediately to stop the cooking process.
