    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the pasta.

    Cook Pasta

    Add 2 cups of gluten-free pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking.

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
