2. Cook the spaghetti noodles in boiling water for about 8-9 minutes.
The package will have the boiling time written on it. If you boil them for 1-2 minutes less than that, you can enjoy chewier noodles.
Just drain the boiled noodles and do not rinse them. Tossing them with oil will keep them from getting soggy.
