Ingredients

1 pound pasta (your choice)

Steps:

Bring salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and stir for 15 to 20 seconds to prevent pasta from sticking to itself.
Around the 10 minute mark take a noodle and bite it in 1/2. There should be a little bit of white, uncooked noodle in the centre. Drain pasta and mix in with sauce to finish cooking.

Boil Water. Start with a very large pot of water, about 6 quarts per pound of pasta. Bring it to a rapid boil. Tip: A pound of pasta feeds about 5 to 6 people.
Add Salt. Put in a lot of salt, about 3 tablespoons. If you taste the water, it should taste like the sea.
Add the Pasta. Drop in the pasta while the water is at a boil and give it a gentle stir.
Stir. Stir it occasionally while it cooks. Use the cooking time on the pasta package as a guide.
Taste the Pasta. But watch out — it's hot! Sample the pasta at about 2 minutes shy of the indicated time. It should be al dente. You'll finish cooking it in the sauce.
Drain. Drain the pasta. Just be sure to save about 1 cup of the pasta water. If you have a pot with a colander insert, use it to drain the pasta. If not, drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink.
Removing Ravioli. If you're cooking ravioli, use a slotted skimmer and gently lift the ravioli a few at a time.
Stir in the Sauce. Add the pasta to your sauce and finish cooking it in the sauce. Give it a stir to coat.
Add Pasta Water. Ladle a few tablespoons of the pasta water at a time until you have the right consistency to your sauce. Remember, the pasta will absorb the liquid.
Buon Appetito! Simmer over medium-low heat — it'll help the pasta soak up the sauce. Follow your recipe's instructions for finishing the dish. And that's all there is to it.
