Notes

Spaghetti is a long, thin type of pasta.

Spaghetti is al dente when it is firm to the bite and loses it’s raw taste. It will have a slight resistance when bitten into. It is not soft or overdone.

You may want to serve this spaghetti with a salad, bread, and steamed vegetable.

Garlic or garlic-cheese bread is a delicious addition to the spaghetti.
