What is spaghetti?
Spaghetti is an Italian pasta made with wheat flour. It is now readily available in Indian supermarkets. You can use any brand of good quality spaghetti.
Spaghetti has an identical structure and shape of a long vermicelli. It looks like a dark yellow and thicker version of vermicelli. I think vermicelli is the best option to explain this pasta for beginners.
Spaghetti is an Italian pasta, it is thick, solid, cylindrical and comes in at a length between 20 to 30 centimeters. When cooked, it turns soft and resembles like noodles.
How to Cook Spaghetti?
Spaghetti are usually cooked in plenty of water till it turns al dente. Al dente means to the tooth or to the bite. In other words the spaghetti is cooked till soft but should still remain firm. In the same way, we cook basmati rice for dum biriyani. The rice will not be cooked fully, we always leave a slight bite in it so that it comes in perfect consistency at the end. Usually cooking time of spaghetti will be printed on the packet itself. Usually it comes between ten to twelve minutes.
