All the subtleties of cooking on the stove, in a multicooker and microwave.
How much spaghetti to cook
The spaghetti is cooked for about 7-12 minutes. But it's better to focus on the time indicated on the package.
If you want the pasta to turn out almost ready, but not boiled over (al dente), keep it on the fire for a couple of minutes less than recommended. But first check what is indicated in the instructions on the package.
How to cook spaghetti on the stove
Take a large, wide-bottomed saucepan. Pour water into it - about 1 liter for every 100 g - and boil. After boiling, add the whole spaghetti to fan out. Do not break them: the parts remaining on the surface will gradually sink into the water. Add about 10 grams of salt, or more, according to your taste.
Do not cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. To prevent the pasta from sticking together, you can add a little olive oil or sunflower oil to the pan. Discard the finished spaghetti in a colander. Do not rinse them with water - just add more oil.
How to cook spaghetti in a slow cooker
In a slow cooker, boil salted water at the rate of 1 liter per 100 g of pasta. Use the Spaghetti, Pasta or Steam mode. Put the spaghetti inside and wait until they gradually sink into the water - this will take no more than 1–2 minutes. You can also add a little butter or vegetable oil, such as olive oil or sunflower oil.
Close the lid and continue cooking the spaghetti. Throw the finished products in a colander so that the glass is liquid. You don't need to rinse the spaghetti.
How to cook spaghetti in the microwave
There are two ways to cook spaghetti in the microwave.
Method 1
Break the pasta into two or three pieces. And then put it in a special dish that is suitable for microwave ovens. Fill with water at room temperature - the level of the liquid should be at least 5 cm higher than the spaghetti. You do not need to cover with a lid.
Set the cooking time to about 3 minutes longer than the one indicated on the pasta pack. Place the cooked spaghetti in a colander.
Method 2
Break up the spaghetti and place in a special bowl. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix well. Then fill the container with freshly boiled water so that its level is at least 5 cm higher than the pasta.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cook for about 8 minutes at maximum power. Stir gently after half the time. After boiling, let the spaghetti sit in the water for about 2 minutes.
Taste it. If the spaghetti looks tough, return it to the microwave and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw the cooked pasta in a colander.
