By this time water shud be boiling. Add pasta and boil about 8-10 min or till pasta is al-dente. U DO want it firm & cooked all the way. U DON'T want it falling a part.

Growing up my mom would make this for me at least once a month, but she always made it with spaghetti noodles. Given that I suck at cutting noodles, I adapted. Haha. Hope you enjoy a slice of my childhood. :) ThatStecksyChef
