9/14/15 etc definitely the way to go, if your daughter lets you away with it.
Linfield - the spaghetti is not soggy! I never overcook pasta and if I did I would immediately dump it. It leaks water after being plated.
Fear - they sounded good to me too. I still haven't made spaghetti since then but will be soon.

Oh, then its obvious your not draining the water from the pasta properly. Try straining it then putting it back on the heat low while gently shaking it until the heat evaporates the remaining water. When you get rid of the water coat the pasta in a couple of tablespoons of extra virgen olive oil.This adds flavour to the pasta and prevents it from sticking together. Hope this helps.
