Cooking Instructions
The manufacturer recommends a specific method and time to achieve the ideal texture.

- Add Salt: Add about 7g (approx. 1 tablespoon) of salt to the boiling water.
- Add Pasta: Add the Barilla Spaghetti n.5 to the pot, stirring occasionally to ensure the strands cook evenly and do not stick together.
- Cook for Recommended Time: Cook for the time indicated on the package.
- Al Dente: 9 minutes.
- Softer Pasta: Cook for 1 more minute.
- Drain: Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite sauce. Do not rinse the pasta, as the starch helps the sauce adhere better.
- Tip: Reserve a small amount of the starchy pasta water to add to your sauce for better consistency and to help the sauce bind to the spaghetti.
