hehehehe, guess I should have read the replies before cooking. I tend to get a little nuts about the way pasta is cooked as there is nothing worse than bad pasta and nothing better than when it is cooked well.

Lots of water in a big pot, a little salt, stir it frequently while cooking and don't overcook. When done drain into a colander and rinse it with steaming hot water (removes any starch residue and makes it more pliable). Karen's advice is great: when you spaghetti has drained put it back in the pot, add a little butter (I usually add grated Parmesan cheese as well for flavour) and voila! it's done!!

What brand if spaghetti do you use, I use Ronzoni for all my pasta and on the box it says to add salt to the water to prevent sticking.
