Not the way the Italians I grew up with showed me (not that being different is wrong, just different).
Antonio's mother used a huge pot, SHIT loads of salt, a dash of extra virgin, water boiling away, in goes pasta, 9 minutes into strainer, NO rinsing, straight back into pot, big chunk of butter, mixed through, poured in sauce, tossed through, served.
Never got any better than that.
