Classic Macaroni Pasta

By Guest

Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Macaroni
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

1

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water to enhance the pasta flavor.

2

Once the water is boiling, add 2 cups of macaroni to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent the macaroni from sticking together.

3

Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, usually about 7-8 minutes, or until al dente. Stir occasionally while cooking.

4

Once cooked, drain the macaroni in a colander and return it to the pot.

5

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the macaroni and stir to coat evenly. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking together and add flavor.

6

Serve the macaroni warm. You can top it with cheese or your favorite pasta sauce if desired, but it is delicious on its own as well! Enjoy!
