So, how long to make spaghetti? Between 8 and 12 minutes, give or take a minute for your mood and your altitude. But really, it’s until it bites back just a little before it gives into your fork.
You care because this is the meal you make when you need a win. When you want to feel like you’ve got it together, even if your laundry pile is a mountain. Perfect spaghetti is a small victory that costs almost nothing.
Next time you’re standing over that boiling pot, breathe. Taste. Trust yourself. And remember: even if you mess it up, a little extra cheese covers a multitude of sins. Now go twirl.
