How to cook pasta?
Cook pasta in a boiling salted water. Ideally, you want to use about 1 litre of water per 100g of pasta. If you use too little water, your pasta will turn out starchy. Salt it generously about 1 tsp per litre. The water does not need to be at a rampant boil, but it should be boiling. If the pan boils over, turn down the heat a little; you'll reach a point where it will bubble boil and behave itself.
To serve, cook the spaghetti, drain, and then coil onto plates. Top each bed of pasta with Bolognese sauce and shower with parmesan cheese.
Come on, try it!! Marvellous........
