Teaching: How to Cook Pasta

Here's the third of the teaching tutorials - this one on how to cook pasta. Too often I overcook pasta, mostly because I drop it into the boiling water and then get distracted by the kids or whatever else I'm doing in the kitchen. But really, this should be watched because it doesn't take that long to cook pasta.

Here's another great video tutorial from Gordon Ramsay. He mentions adding olive oil to the water - there are two schools of thought on this step. He says it keeps the pasta from sticking together. I had instructors in culinary school say that you only add the olive oil after draining the pasta. Even my husband and I disagree about this - he adds it to the water where I add it after draining. You say tomayto, I say tomahto.
