How do you cook a delicious spaghetti for my children?
first, you boil a big pot of water on your stove. as soon as the water boils, you put the pasta in the pot. sometimes it helps to check to see if the pasta is tender by taking a fork and poke the pasta(you may also taste the pasta). when the pasta is the texture and chewiness that you want it to be at, you drain all of the water from the pot. when you let the pasta sit, you put some marina sauce in a bowl and heat it in the microwave for as long as it takes for it to get the right temperature. times may vary. when the sauce is heated, you put some pasta and sauce in a bowl for your kids. waala!
