Ingredients

• A Bag of Pasta
• Water

Method

• Get saucepan.
• Boil kettle
• Add boiling water to saucepan, and put on hob
• Add some salt to the water.
• Add pasta. I find 2 good handfuls of pasta shapes like bowties or penne work well, and for spaghetti, overlaping your index finger with your thumb provides a good guide for one serving of spaghetti.
• Make sure you bring the water back to the boil, and stir it so it doesn't stick. Burnt pasta is highly annoying and will ruin the flavour of the non burnt pasta. Make sure it's a rolling boil. If it's simmering, then everything will stick and be messy and yuk.
• Follow the cooking time on the packet and start testing the pasta about two minutes before the cooking time is done to see if it is al dente i.e. slightly firm to the bite, and not chalky on the inside.
• Drain

Once you have done this add a filling.

• Plain grated cheese
• Cheese and ketchup
• Warmed olive oil with crushed garlic and cheese
• Pesto
• Bacon bits and cheese
• Fried up chicken breast, bacon and onion with some broccoli, carrots and some soy sauce. Amazingly good.

or if you are feeling fancy, add one of the below

• Recipe - Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce
• Recipe - Basic Tomato Sauce
• Recipe - Cheese Sauce
