How to cook spaghetti

First a few words about how to cookspaghetti. It would seem that there is complicated? Put the water on the fire, boiled, salted, cooked pasta - and that's it. But no! After all, spaghetti is not an ordinary side dish, but quite a full dish, dressed with sauce. We will tell you how to properly prepare this base. First of all, decide on the amount of spaghetti. Sometimes the recipe contains a similar item, and sometimes not. What to do in these cases? If the spaghetti is the main (or even the only) dish, then take them at a rate of 100 grams per person. If this is just a prelude to dinner, then you can limit yourself to 50 grams. Now let's start choosing the inventory for cooking. Of course, ideally should use a special dish for spaghetti - rectangular and the appropriate length. However, if it is not available, then you can take an ordinary large pot (two or three liters in volume) with a wide bottom. Fill it with water for two thirds and bring this water to a boil. Salt her and put dry spaghetti there, in no case breaking it - the Italians do not take it at all! In a few seconds the part in the water will become soft, and you can lower them deeper, slightly folding. So you can put all the spaghetti into the pan, without disturbing their structure. When the spaghetti boils, you can reduce the fire a little, but in no case do not leave the kitchen, otherwise you can forget about them and simply spoil the dish. Do not forget to stir the pasta regularly, as this keeps them from sticking to each other. Spaghetti can be considered ready when they reach the state of "al dente", or "on the tooth." This can be determined if you cut one macaroni - inside there will be a small dark stiff spot. However, we will not waste time on this! It is possible to do easier: reduce the cooking time by one minute in comparison with what is indicated on the pack. In general, in the very near future you will learn by eye to determine the moment of the onset of "al dente." It is very important not to digest spaghetti, because they reach the condition already in a colander, finishing in their own pair. And some more useful tips:

• Should I add cooking oil? It depends on your own taste. In fact, the spaghetti will not stick together if you took a quality product and they have enough space in the pan. The main thing - do not forget to stir them, and everything will be "in the shade."
• Do not pour water into the sink, which is left from spaghetti. You may need it, for example, if the sauce is too thick or spicy.
• Should I wash spaghetti? This action will be superfluous. It is best to immediately spread them on plates and add the sauce, but if you do not have such an opportunity, then you can add olive or butter to them. In the event that you needed to warm up the already spaghetti in a colander, you can simply beat them with boiling water.
• To serve this dish on a table, use warm plates: they will preserve the heat of the spaghetti and help them stay tasty and attractive for a longer time.
