Filtraton
Yes. If you place pasta in already boiling water it will be quicker, because usually you time the cooking of pasta from when the water begins to boil.
Water
If you add any type of pasta into a pot of cold water then boil this will cause starches to dissolve the pasta surface, in a result the pasta will stick. When the water is boiled at its highest temperature, the pasta will cook to perfection and faster.
boil water on the stove, but sprinkle salt in the water when its boiling, after it boils add the pasta.
If you add pasta to cold water, and then bring it to a boil, the starches will begin to dissolve. This will cause a very sticky surface on the pasta, and it will clump together. By adding the pasta to boiling water, the surface starches cook right away.
I always put double amount of water to pasta. e.g. 1 cup of pasta = 2 cups water. never boil pasta in a pan with the lid on. The pan has to be uncovered.
Pasta should be cooked in lots of boiling water.
Pasta and water make a suspension.
