Depending on if you have whole wheat or just white spaghetti it takes about 7 minutes from boiling to get a spaghetti noodle el dente. You should also taste-test your noodles when you feel that they are almost done- they should be soft 99% through but in the center just a little bit chewy.
Throw it at the wall! if it sticks, it's done. Or taste. But the first way is much funner.
You test the doneness of spaghetti by lifting a strand out of the water (using a fork or tongs, please), hold in in the air for a few seconds to cool enough to touch. Some people will bite into the strand, other cut it with the fork or a knife. Doneness depends on individual taste; when you bite or cut it and there is the tiniest dot of uncooked center, that's done al dente; if you prefer in softer, wait until there's no uncooked core. When it reaches the doneness you like, immediately drain it so that it won't cook any further. You can mix a dash of oil through the strained pasta to prevent sticking.
