spaghetti cooking tips

Spaghetti can be prepared and served in many different ways. So let me tell you some of my spaghetti tips.

Make sure the water in the pot is boiling before you add the spaghetti to it.

I always break up the strands of spaghetti into four pieces before I cook them. Makes it easier to serve.

You can add a little cooking oil to the water, then stir the spaghetti often while it cooks to prevent it from sticking together.

Lower the heat after the spaghetti has been added to the boiling water, cover the pot and simmer until the spaghetti is tender.

Another method of cooking it is to bring a pot of water to a rolling
boil, add the spaghetti, stir, cover the pot, and then remove the pot from the heat and let it sit untouched for at least 15 minutes. Drain and serve.

The spaghetti is done when either you can bite through a strand of it
and it is soft, not gummy or if you fling a strand of it at the wall and it sticks to it. Try it

I like a hamburger meat sauce with my spaghett instead of meatballs
because it is quicker to make and easier to serve.

You can make a chunkier sauce if you add sauteed hamburger and onions to it.

I like to add some Parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce too.

My favorite sauce is using one jar or can of an inexpensive traditional or meat sauce and combining it with a jar or can of roasted garlic and onion sauce.You can then freeze half of this sauce for another meal.

Steamed broccoli goes well with spaghetti.

I prepare a one pound or larger package each time I prepare spaghetti
to allow leftovers. They can be reheated the next day or frozen until needed for a quick meal on those hectic days.

When serving top the spaghetti with Parmesan cheese.

You can also stir in other shredded cheeses if you prefer.
