You can also add only enough water so the pasta consumes it all, though you have to watch out for sticking and all the starch that would go into the water stays with the pasta. That could affect flavor. You could also turn off the heat early and let the pasta continue to cook on the stored heat. Don't have a subscription to FT so I can't read the article.
