How To Make A Spaghetti Tower
Insert a carving fork through a large clump of spaghetti. Lift the fork over the pot and twirl horizontally several times so that loose strands fall back to the pot and the spaghetti becomes tightly wound around the fork.
Use a scissors to cut off any long strands. Place the carving fork perpendicular on the center of plate. Push the spaghetti down to make a tighter tower. Lift the fork up and out.
