And remember it’s hot so it still could burn you so you kind of want to move a little quick because you don’t want it to overcook as it sits there or it will make it mushy. Now I’m going to add about a quarter cup of really good extra virgin olive oil.

All right, now we look nice and coated on all of our spaghetti and we’re ready for our next step. "
