Stir the pasta slowly to dis-tangle and boil for around eight minutes. Do a softness check with a strand of pasta. It should be soft to eat but yet firm to the teeth. Remove the pasta from the heat.
Place a strainer in a sink. Pour over the pasta mixture into this strainer and now rinse with cold water under the sink. The cold water will prevent the pasta from sticking together. Shake well to get the excess water out. Your pasta is ready. -
