Add water to a large pot or saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the salt to the boiling water, followed by the pasta. Give the pasta a couple of quick stirs to prevent it from sticking together.
Cook the pasta uncovered (no lid) according to the package instructions, or to your desired doneness. Most types of pasta need 8-10 minutes of cooking time. Reserve a cup of pasta water if needed.
Use a colander or a slotted spoon, drain the pasta and use it in your recipe.
- Save a cup of pasta water in case you need it to thicken or add volume to your sauce.
- To Refrigerate: Allow your cooked pasta to completely cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To reheat, simply remove from the refrigerator, place in a colander, and dip into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. You can then add it to a pan of sauce and mix.
