it's hard for me to describe when al dente is al dente, but that means 'firm to the bite'. basically, keep sampling it. overcooked pasta is literally the antichrist.

If the water's boiling it shouldn't take long. 15 minutes, if even that long.

The pasta package usually comes with instructions.

But typically 8-10 minutes.

Put noodles in boiling water. After 10 minutes pull out a few, preferably with a fork or something and taste. If it's still a little crunchy or not soft, they need to cook longer.

I heard from a reliable source that adding some of the pasta water to the sauce or some shit, is key.

That concludes my totally helpful hint.

He's not even that far along.

Also, I never really heard about that until recently, but ya it seems to work.
But I don't think it's key to anything.

I look at the back of the packaging then around the time it says I start taking a tiny bit out and taste test it to see if it's at my desired firmness, and if not I leave it for another minute or two and keep doing that until I am satisfied
