Boil spaghetti in a small amount of water in a frying pan. You won’t need to push the pasta down and you’ll have lovely starchy water to finish off your sauce — perfect for something like a carbonara!
Another fun fact, you barely need enough water to cover the pasta and it doesn’t even need to be boiling to be working. If you just slightly more than cover the spaghetti with water it heats up much faster and therefor you are done cooking much faster. No need for a giant full pot.

It’s really great! I use an electric kettle to shove boiling water on immediately which gets things going quickly too 😄
This goes against my intuition of years of making pasta. But I’ll try it nonetheless.
If you’d like to blow your mind further, submerge the dry pasta cold, then apply heat.
