Step 1 of 11

Fill the pot with 2L water and add a generous pinch of salt — about ¾–1 teaspoon, or enough that a taste of the water would remind you of seawater (this seasons the pasta itself, not just the sauce). Put it on high heat: turn your dial all the way up. Water boils at a fixed point everywhere — 100°C/212°F at sea level — so once you see a rolling boil, it's ready no matter what number your dial shows.

Pro TipA lid on the pot makes it boil noticeably faster — uncovered, a lot of that heat just escapes as steam.
