Get Water To Rolling Boil

Cook your pasta in a large pot, making sure your water is at a rolling boil before adding. Water at this temperature helps "set” the outside of the pasta and prevent it from sticking as well as losing its shape.

Add Salt, Not Oil

Generously season your water with kosher salt. Don’t be skimpy — most of it will go right down the drain and it's the only time you can season the pasta itself! Don't add oil to your pasta water, it could prevent your sauce from properly coating the pasta.

Pick The Right Shape

If using a heavy sauce like bolognese or ragù, stick to tubular pasta shapes like penne. For more delicate sauces like pesto, thin, long pastas like spaghetti are better suited. If using a ton of sauce, go with shapes with lots of nooks and crannies to trap the sauce.

Stir For The First Minute

Starches start to release during the first minute of boiling, meaning it's the time when the pasta is most prone to sticking together. To prevent this, stir your pasta for the first minute, and after that you can ease up and stir it every 30 seconds or so.

Don’t Trust The Timer

Use package instructions as a guideline, but taste as you go. Pasta often cooks faster than stated, so start checking three minutes early. Remove a piece, let it cool, and taste — it should be al dente, tender but with a bite. If adding to a hot pasta sauce, drain a little earlier.
