Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a large spaghetti pot bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Cook until al dente. Stir pasta to avoid sticking.

Check seasonings, and crack fresh pepper over each portion. Serve immediately.
