    Add salt to boiling water. This is due to the fact that salt lowers the boiling point, water should be prescribed before adding pasta, reduce its temperature by 1-2 degrees, and put pasta only in boiling water equal to 100 ° C.

Dipped pasta in boiling water? Cover immediately to restore the temperature. Under the lid, the water will start to boil, so reduce the heat to medium and cook until done.
