We have been cooking spaghetti the wrong way.
A Chowhound video shows a faster, better way to boil spaghetti. Turns out the classic method — plenty of boiling water — isn't the whole story.

We thought we knew the basics:
- Boil water in a large pot. To make sure pasta doesn't stick together, use at least 4 quarts of water for every pound of noodles.
- Salt the water with at least a tablespoon — more is fine. The salty water adds flavor to the pasta.
- Add pasta.
- Stir the pasta.
- Test the pasta by tasting it.
- Drain the pasta.
Turns out we have been doing it all wrong. We tried the method shown in the video below to test if it works — and it works beautifully.
The Chowhound video shows the correct (read: shorter cooking time) way of boiling pasta.
