Finishing pasta by cooking it the last 1/4 of the way in sauce with a bit of leftover pasta water is my go-to.

- TillE 5y agoWhen you're cooking for just one or two people, you can just make everything in one large pan. Start the sauce (fry garlic in olive oil, etc), then add the liquid (usually canned tomatoes plus a couple can-fulls of water) and pasta. You need a little experimentation to figure out how much water you need, then you'll have perfectly cooked pasta when the sauce is appropriately reduced.
