  2. Cut the nori into thin strips about 2 inches (5 cm) long with kitchen shears; set aside.

  4. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a covered pot over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1/4 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt to the boiling water, then add the spaghetti (broken in half if needed), keeping it submerged.
  6. Cook uncovered for 11 minutes, or until al dente.
  7. Turn off the heat, hold back the spaghetti with the lid and drain the water.
