Boiled dry spaghetti finished in sauce

Bring the water to a boil and add one tablespoon of salt, or more to taste.

Add the pasta and push it down into the water.

Cook the commercial pasta about 7 to 8 minutes; cook the artisan pasta 10 minutes for al dente or 12 minutes for fully cooked.

Take the pasta out into the pan of sauce and add a little pasta water to revive the sauce.

Finish with a little basil.
