If you are looking to just make plain old spaghetti, I'd recommend doing it like this:

Fill a huge pot with water (the more water in relation to the pasta, the better; it prevents sticking and keeps the starch from saturating the water).

Bring the water to a boil, lower the temp slightly (if 10 is high on your burner, bring it down to 8), and add a good amount of salt and some olive oil to the water.

Add the pasta to the rolling boil, and allow to boil, stirring every once in awhile, until the pasta is "al dente" or still has a bite. You can try the other methods of assessing doneness, like throwing it against the wall and seeing if a piece sticks, but I just like to remove a strand or two and taste it.

Strain it in a collander, but do NOT run water over it, cold or otherwise. This will remove the excess starch and will keep the sauce that you use from sticking to the spaghetti.

Hope that helps!

I make whole wheat spaghetti from scratch, then as I'm cooking it, I add spices like pepper and basil to the water so the spaghetti soaks it up. I make a tomato sauce from roma tomatoes, italian herb tomato paste, peppers, hot sauce, artichoke hearts, fresh olives some balsamic vinegar and green onions.
