Pasta Preparation

1. 1

   Boil Water

   Fill a large pot with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Cook Pasta

   Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of pasta. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until al dente.

3. 3

   Drain Pasta

   Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and reserve a cup of pasta water. Set aside for later use.

4. 4

   Toss with Olive Oil

   In the pot, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the drained pasta and toss to combine evenly. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the pasta.
