To step

Part 1 of 3: Cook the spaghetti

1. Let the pasta cook for 7-15 minutes, depending on your preference, the type of pasta and the directions on the package. Spaghetti should be soft on the inside, but not mushy when done. Try a string of spaghetti so you know it's okay before turning off the heat. If the pasta is still hard on the inside, let it cook for another minute or two before trying again.
2. Serve and enjoy! Add grated parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, or other Italian herbs for extra flavor.

Tips

• Instead of butter, you can also drizzle a spoonful of olive oil over the spaghetti to get a rich flavor without animal fat.
• Fresh spaghetti does not need to cook as long as dried ones. You only need to cook fresh pasta for 2-5 minutes.
• If desired, you can also add some ground beef to the sauce. You will need about 1 pound of ground beef. Fry it briefly in the pan and then add it to the sauce.

Warnings

• Make sure to turn off the heat when you're done.
• Be careful when pouring boiling water.

Necessities
