Ingredients:
- 200g pasta

Instructions:
Boil Water:
- Fill the multi-purpose kettle with water, enough to fully submerge the pasta. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season the pasta as it cooks.
Preheat and Add Pasta:
- Place the kettle on the heating element and set it to boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the pasta to the kettle.
Cook Pasta:
- Let the pasta cook in the boiling water according to the package instructions or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check Doneness:
- After the cooking time specified on the pasta package, test a piece of pasta to ensure it's cooked to your liking. It should be tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Drain Pasta:
- Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the kettle and carefully pour the pasta and water through a colander or strainer to drain the water.
Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pasta to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with grated cheese if desired.
Enjoy:
