I really like pasta, and have found there are some great tricks to cooking it successfully. I am posting a pasta recipe later this week, so thought this would be an appropriate pre-post. Hope you find these tips helpful:

• To prevent the pasta from sticking together, be sure to use
  plenty of water and stir the pasta when first adding it to the
  boiling water.

• To prevent soft, mushy pasta, do not allow the pasta to be in the
  water any longer than necessary by adding it only when the water is
  at a full boil and by keeping it at a steady boil throughout the
  cooking time.

• Adding salt to the water when cooking pasta will help firm the
  pasta and bring out its flavor.

• Add a tsp of olive oil to pasta after removing it from the water when it is done
  cooking.This will help prevent it from sticking together as it cools.
