Could you tell me if this sounds natural?

It is:
Boil the spaghetti according to the cooking time on the package, or until desired tender.

Thank you.

That is really good to know. The expression seems to fit other foods, too. For example, "Mix it until as smooth as desired." I hope it sounds natural. Thank you, Mister Micawber.

Yes, I think that is standard recipe language. For more, you could google 'recipes'.
