There are dozens of sizes and shapes, with various thicknesses and ingredients. Each requires a specific amount of time, and it's always listed on the package. To fully answer the question, though, I have to point out that there's an extra element to take into consideration: the size of the pot. The minute you drop the pasta into boiling water, the water ceases to boil. It takes time to get back to starting point. The larger the pot (and the more water in it), the quicker it happens. A small pot could easily add a few minutes of cooking time.
Umm I Think It's About 9 Mins (:
