Right. And in fact, it's better that way. There's more starch in the water, which makes it more useful when you add some to the sauce in your sauce pan.

What, you don't finish your pasta by heating it with the sauce??? Hang your head in shame.

no. they shamelessly pan fry pasta. (and rinse them briefly with fresh water to get rid of the starch and stop the cooking for bite. also works just perfect with a low amount of water)

Or just cook your pasta in the sauce.
