Noodles are overcooked when they become mushy and lose their firm texture, often resulting in a sticky or gooey consistency. They should retain a slight bite, known as "al dente," which means they are cooked but still have a bit of firmness when bitten. If you notice the noodles are falling apart or have a translucent appearance, they are likely overdone. It's best to taste them a minute or two before the recommended cooking time is up to ensure they are cooked to your liking.

I always heat the sauce first and then put the water on to boil the noodles. Just about when the sauce is done the noodle water is ready and it only takes a few more minutes to have the noodles ready. This way your sauce is hot and so are the noodles.
