Well I always make sure there's plenty of water in the pasta and there's space for it to move and expand. I never add salt to pasta, I know the Italians would probably string me up for saying that but I don't think it needs it and neither does my blood pressure. I will add salt to the sauce if it needs it.

Usually any big pot will do. I fill up the water until its just under the metal dots where the handle is attached. You can't go wrong with too much water, so I usually err on that side. Usually, I put 1 tablespoon of salt in the water for 1 box of pasta. Bring it to a boil before sticking the noodles in. Test them after a few minutes and strain them as soon as they’re no longer crunchy.
Taste your sauce before you add any additional salt to it.
