• When filling the pot with water make sure to season it well with sea salt.
• Add olive oil to water and let the water come to a complete boil before adding the pasta.
• Once the water is boiling place pasta in pot and then gently turn it as it softens to incorporate all the pasta into the water.
• Let it boil and cook for appropriate amount of time and then drain. DO NOT rinse off with cold water.
• You can also place a little bit of sauce that you may be using into the pasta and mix to prevent it from sticking once you have drained it.
