Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or lo mein noodles according to package directions until tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 8–10 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold running water until the noodles are completely cool, then drain thoroughly.
