It depends on the size and type of pasta. Orzo and angel hair need about 6 minutes or a little more. Thicker pastas need 10 - 12 minutes, or longer. Take out a piece to taste it and test the doneness.

∙ 15y agoDried pasta does not stand in sauce before it is cooked. Dried pasta needs to be cooked in boiling water until it is the way you like to eat it. The longer you boil it the softer it gets. Then you heat the pasta sauce and add it to the pasta.

Why does spaghetti sauce go watery when put on spaghetti?
Basically all you did was rinse your spaghetti after you cooked it. You removed the starch which makes the sauce stick. When you do this the pasta becomes waxy and the sauce will run off. Contrary to popular reading, I quit rinsing my pasta after cooking, with the exception of elbow noodles. If you overcook your pasta, you're not allowing it to absorb that last bit of moisture out of the sauce. Best way to avoid watery sauce is to take your pasta out of the boiling water when it is not completely cooked (this is called "al dente"), then, without rinsing it, finish your pasta in the hot sauce until you reach the apropriate doneness.
