In a big pan, bring the water to a boil with salt and/or olive oil. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the shape. Drain the pasta and let it steam dry for a few minutes, just until the surface appears matte. Add seasoning, pasta sauce, pesto, or just a generous drizzle of olive oil next. Allow some of the sauce or dressing to soak into the pasta by thoroughly mixing to coat. Add seasoning to taste, including parmesan cheese that has been finely grated.
