How do you make plain pasta from a packet?? (easy question, just a briefxplanation for my homework!)?

I have to make a brochure on pasta for Design&Technology at school, and I need a quick recipe on how to just make plain, store bought pasta.On the back of this Barilla Farfalle packet i have here, it says to cook for about 6 minutes with a ladleful of water, but that is for a particular recipe with a particular sauce. The question on my assignment notification says i need to explain how to make store bought pasta. Help, please!

It depends on which pasta you are cooking. You need to bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 Tablespoon salt to the water. Add the pasta, stir. After done cooking, drain. Add toppings or sauce.

Boil for 3 min for small thin pasta (acini di pepe)up to 12 minutes for thick big pasta (lasagne). The average pasta is 7-10 min for spaghetti and elbow macaroni.
