3-4 tbs should be enough.
hmm…how do u cook em?
what i do is first boil the water with salt in it.
and then put the pasta into boiling water.
and when i see the pasta has change its color, and it is not all cooked and also not all uncooked . i drain all the water and put it in the cold water.
and then put olive oil into it.
and the put respected ingredients as desired in to it.
(when i am boiling the pasta i constantly check the pasta that whether its edible or not..i dont want to cook it entirely cuz i usually cook it again with dry ingredients. i.e. stir fry carrot and bell pepper and mushrooms)
i used to put olive oil in the boiling water, but when u rinse it you lose it anyways. so there is not much of a point, so now u put it after rinsing it with the cold water
