I added 1 tea spoon salt and 1 tablespoon of oil to the water before boiling. Adding oil will prevent the strands from sticking to each other. When the water comes to the boil add the spaghetti and stir once to prevent the strands from sticking to each other. I boiled it for about 45 minutes. Do not cover tightly. You should stop boiling before the spaghetti becomes very soft. It should be firm (al dente) but not hard. Drain and set aside.
