Despite the fact that pasta is often served as a side dish, not every housewife knows the rules for its preparation.

First of all, it’s worth clarifying that pasta really loves salt.

Therefore, spaghetti should be immersed in boiling and very salty water.

Now wait until the liquid boils again and… turn off the heat under the pan!

Cover the pot in which the pasta was cooked with a lid and leave it like that for about 7-8 minutes.

Only after this can you get rid of the liquid by throwing the future dinner into a colander. It is better to forget about such barbarity as rinsing pasta - with this method of preparation, this procedure is not required.

The only thing left to do is to put the pasta back into the saucepan and add butter. Don't skimp - feel free to throw in 50-100 grams.

After this, the delicious pasta, which has the right consistency and creamy taste, can be brought to the table.
