Recipe - Basics: Dried Pasta

20 cup Water
2 tablespoon Salt
1 pound Dried pasta

Basics for new cooks:

In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil. Stir in
pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered and stirring
occasionally, for 810 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain well.

Tip: Fine strands and small shapes of dried pasta cook in as little as 3
minutes.

Tip: If pasta is to be coated with a sauce, do not rinse. The starchy
coating on pasta aids in holding sauce to the pasta.
