Really stupid pasta cooking Q
So you have the pot on the stove. It's on high. Water starts to boil. You add the pasta. Now...do you KEEP the temp on high or do you lower it? 
Yes, I told you it was stupid! Ever just NOT remember how to do something?

Re: Really stupid pasta cooking Q
I lower it a little, otherwise it typically boils over, but it may depend on how hot your burners get. I don't remember it being as much of an issue with the electric stove I had in my old Apt, but the gas stove in our house definitely makes it boil over on high

Re: Really stupid pasta cooking Q
like PPs said, I leave it unless it starts to boil over in which case I'll turn it down

Re: Really stupid pasta cooking Q
Boil it baby. Not stupid at all.
Keep in mind pasta has to roll around or it will stick to each other.
pasta likes a rolling boil.
give it a stir a few times too.

Re: Really stupid pasta cooking Q
I usually let it go on the regualr high heat. but like most have said, I'll turn it down if it is about to boil over.

Re: Really stupid pasta cooking Q
I usually have to lower it a little bit so it doesn't overflow!
