Most pasta should be boiled for approximately 10 minutes but sometimes it is different for the type of pasta you have.

I recommend you check the label of the packaging to be sure of how long you should cook the pasta for.

Until the pasta sticks to the wall!

Until it is al dente ("to the tooth"), enough to be firm not soft.
