Stir extra at the beginning not to have any pieces stuck to the bottom / sides of the pan, then stir like every minute or so. Check package for cooking time. If it says 9 to 11 minutes. Start trying and taking bites from 7 minutes on. When it is just only slightly too al dente for your taste, turn off the fire and pour the remaining water out. By the time this has happened it should be almost perfect. Oh, and don't add oil to "prevent sticking", stupidest gimmick ever.
Always throw the pasta in the pan with the ragł (sauce). Stir for a bit on low fire. Now the pasta will reach perfect "dente-ness". Never throw the ragł on top of the pasta. Buon appetito!

Pfft, your pasta sucks. Boil the kettle, pour it over the pasta, go sit down, forget it, remember, have soggy pasta.
@ss4oLe:
fuck caliper brakes. holy fuck I hate those things. You can bend springs if you need more tension, fuck w/ the bolt to try to center them, etc.
Sauce goes ON TOP of the pasta. Maybe even off to the side a bit. I think the 'oil on pasta' deal is for resturants where they may cook a bunch of pasta before hand? then they dip it in hot water to heat it up if someone wants some pasta? I don't know why you would do that at home though. Pasta goes from boiling water, drained, plate, to belly.

any restaurants that do this to their pasta is no more than a fast food joint.
having said that tho, soggy cold leftover pasta was half of my diet in my early twenties and i loved every bit of it.

Wrong.
hugh.:
Do Phil Wood make a track rear hub with a fixed cog on one side and a freewheel on the other? I can't see anything on their site.
When putting barend brakelevers on bullhorn bars does the cable go inside the bar and would I need to drill a hole for it to go to the callipers?
