- Over high heat bring to a boil uncovered. Boil for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is done and liquid is reduced. Stir frequently to keep the pasta from sticking together using a spoon or tongs.

Notes
TIPS
- Make sure your skillet or pot is wide enough for the length of your spaghetti.
- You can substitute spaghetti or any pasta that cooks to al dente in 8-10 minutes.
- Any shallow straight-sided skillet will work, avoid deep skillets or stock pots because it keeps water from evaporating and you have overcooked pasta.
