Boil in salted water for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain but save some pasta water to loosen sauces. Avoid overcooking to maintain shape and texture.

Store in a cool, dry place away from light in its original packaging or an airtight container. Properly stored, it remains fresh for up to two years.
