Cook pasta the fast way

If you're constantly biting into raw pasta shells because you're tired of waiting for your pasta to cook, ditch the pot... Instead, try cooking your pasta in a pan! Lay your pasta in the pan and cover with a little cold water. Heat and stir occasionally until the pasta is cooked through, adding a little water if you need to. The water should evaporate away, so you save time (and dishes) by doing away with the need to strain it.
