1. Breaking the spaghetti
Why does it matter? How else will it fit in the damn pot?

2. Using a small pot/not enough water
Well, fuck...

3. Putting oil in the water
I've never added oil...

4. Not using enough salt in the water
I've also never added salt to pasta being cooked. Just good 'ol H2O

5. Overcooking it.
We prefer it softer instead of "al dente". Guess I do this, too

6. Not putting it into the sauce as soon as it's done cooking (aka, letting it die).
Why the fuck would you do that? Pour sauce on it once it's in a bowl to serve, keep the rest separate to store for later.

So... 5 out of 6. Maybe 4, not sure what counts as "overcooking". But these "rules" are dumb and I'm glad I break them, like I do my spaghetti, so I'll say I'm at 5.
