4 oz. macaroni, noodles or spaghetti
3 c. water
2 tsp. salt

Bring water to boiling. Add salt and pasta. Stir the boiling mixture constantly for 2 minutes. Then cover and remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. At end of 10 minutes, drain the pasta and rinse immediately. It will be done to correct stage of doneness, completely cooked, yet still chewy and not overdone and mushy. Increase or decrease the amount of water as you vary the quantity of pasta you wish to cook.
