3. 2.
4. When the water is close to boiling put a large skillet on the stove and heat it between medium and medium high heat.

6. When the water boils add a generous amount of salt to the water, drop the pasta in and give it a stir, being sure all the strands of pasta are separate and not sticking together.
7. I always put my timer on for 8 minutes, so I wont over cook the pasta.
