Everybody loves Spaghetti. Its tasty, goes with almost any type of sauce and it’s ready within no time. This is the most popular type of pasta which originated in Italy but it now enjoyed throughout the world. The key to perfect Spaghetti is to cook it in a very large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water then toss in a handful of salt. The water should be quite salty in order for the spaghetti to absorb it. Then boil the spaghetti until it is soft but still has some bite to it. This is what the Italians call al-dente. Follow the instructions on the packet if you are unsure as different brands have different cooking times. This Spaghetti dish is perfect for a hot day as it is light as it is refreshing. This is one of those recipes that you can adapt to whatever vegetables are available and in season at the time.
