2. When the water boils, add the fettuccine and cook in boiling water for about 5-6 minutes (depending on the type of pasta). Remember that the pasta should be slightly undercooked inside. Drain the pasta in a colander but do not rinse. Then transfer it to a plate or flat container, add a little olive oil, and mix well without breaking the pasta.
