Napolina Spaghetti 500g - Authentic Italian Pasta

Preparation
9-11 Mins
For proper Italian pasta (and why would you want anything else?), add pasta to a large pan of slightly salted boiling water and cook for 9 mins until al dente.
If you like your pasta a little softer, cook for 11 mins. Drain, smother in sauce and enjoy.

Hob - From Ambient. Add pasta to a large pan of slightly salted boiling water, return to the boil and cook for 9-11 minutes according to taste. A shorter cooking time will create a firmer authentic Italian texture ('al dente' meaning 'firm to the bite').
Drain and serve with your favourite Napolina pasta sauce.

3 Add the tomato puree, crumble in the stock cube, and add the oregano and tomatoes with their juice, breaking them down with the back of a spoon. Cover and simmer very gently for one-and-a-half to two hours, adding the mushrooms* halfway through cooking.
