To save you all a click and several paragraphs of useless text.

Use a large pot.
Fill the pot with cold water.
Don’t skimp on the salt.
Do not put oil in the pot.
Wait until the water reaches a stable boil to add your pasta.
Stir, stir, stir.
Remove the lid.
Keep time, and consistently test.
Don’t pour all the pasta water down the drain. * Or do if you aren't making a sauce.
Don’t rinse cooked pasta.

What lid?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The lid of the pot. Keeping the pot covered makes the water boil quicker

Oh, my pasta pot never had a lid with it.
