More Pasta Cooking Tips:
Buy quick cook pasta which only takes 1-3 minutes to cook.
Make a pot cozy or buy one to keep the hot water warm while your pasta soaks.
If you have a small pot and want to cook spaghetti, break the noodles in halves or thirds so they’ll fit in your cookpot.
Save the pasta water that’s leftover after your pasta has cooked. It makes a very good base for rehydrating pasta sauce and the starch in the water helps keep the sauce on your noodles. Not using sauce? Drink the water for the added calories.
You don’t need to drain the water out of the pot when you cook pasta, it’s perfectly ok to pick it out of the pot with a fork.

In reality, you would need to add 230 grams (0.5 lbs) of table salt to a liter of water just to raise the boiling point by 2 degrees celsius, more than anyone could tolerate. Salt is really only good for adding flavor.
