Gather your patience and establish the extinct "a watched pot never boils" saying to the test. The experience might rival watching paint dry,but of course the water will eventually begin to boil.

Once it kicks in, or it builds at a furious pace and quickly creates a roiling cauldron on your stovetop. Time to add the pasta.
