Instructions
Harold McGee, author of An Encyclopedia of Kitchen Science, History and Culture, suggests cooking pasta in pot of boiling water is unnecessary. Instead, we should all be making our pasta in a frying pan Most traditional recipes for making pasta tell you to start out with lots and lots of water and heat it up to the boil before you add the pasta. It turns out that you don't need to do that. You can save a lot of time, a lot of water, and a lot of energy by starting out with cold water and a frying pan.
Because the water is cold the pasta won't stick to itself at the very beginning. When it's done, you have pasta that's perfectly cooked and you have a thickened liquid you can use to make all kinds of sauces. McGee recommends putting the pasta in the frying pan before you pour between one and two litres of cold water over it. Then simply turn up the temperature to a medium-high heat and stir occasionally.
