i always put the pasta in first, cover it with as little cold water as possible and then put a lid on it until it boils. its supposed to be faster but i mainly do it because i know it would piss off italians
I've tried that and the outside of the pasta is a bit overcooked and slimy when i've done it. These days i just boil water on the kettle, pour it in a pot and add the pasta. Faster and no fuss.
The electronic kettle to boil then moving it to the saucepan is the way to go. So much faster and if you have leftover hot water in the kettle you can use it while cleaning up.
My poor coffee setup would die on the spot if I ever did that. Kettle is for filtered water only
I come from an Italian American family, moms side at least, and this is how I do it and it was specifically to spite my grandmother
