• 1 liter of water
• 1 teaspoon of salt

Preparation:

1. Pour water and salt into a saucepan and heat until boiling at a high temperature (6 out of 6).

2. Reduce to medium heat (4 of 6). Place the macaroni in a saucepan and cook for 8 to 12 minutes.

3. Put the spaghetti in the saucepan. When the lower part softens, gently push them into the water and stir.

4. Stir occasionally.

Notes:

• The cooking time of regular macaroni and spaghetti can vary depending on the manufacturer and the thickness of the pasta, so check the instructions on the package.
• Whole grain macaroni and spaghetti are often cooked for 8–12 minutes, but some types require 10–15 minutes or longer. The exact time depends on the manufacturer and the thickness of the pasta, so you should check the packaging.
