Fill the large pot half full with water. Add the salt. With an adult helper nearby, put the pot on the stove and bring water to a boil. Break the pasta in two and add it to the boiling water. Stir with the fork. Let the pasta cook for about 4 minutes, then lift one piece out with the fork and taste it. If it is tender, let your adult helper drain the pasta in the colander in the sink. Save a cup of the pasta water in the measuring cup.
