Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes for fresh pasta, until al dente.

Drain and Toss
Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and reserve a small cup of the pasta water. In a large mixing bowl, toss the hot spaghetti with olive oil and salt. If using red sauce, add it now and mix thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
