So how long should spaghetti cook? Exactly as long as it takes for you to taste it and smile. That’s it. The clock is a helper, not a dictator. You are the boss of the noodles.
Think of each pot of boiling water as a tiny, bubbly adventure. You’re not just feeding yourself—you’re orchestrating a little moment of joy. A perfectly cooked strand of spaghetti can make a Tuesday night feel like a celebration.
