Cooking dinner

We're going to cook spaghetti.

First of all, put some water to boil in a pot. Once water is boiling, salt is added and the spaghetti are put into the pot. They will be cooked in ten minutes.

When the spaghetti are ready, a strainer is used to let out the water. The spaghetti are then put into the frying pan. Stir slowly. The spaghetti and the sauce are ready to be served.
