I agree with your idea that cooking is a relaxing time, also while eating what has been cooked.
Add this tip to your one.
When water boils, salt water if you like, put the pasta, wait until water comes back to boiling, at that point switch off the gas. Let pasta complete to cook, the time is about the time indicated by the pasta producer, however it can change depending on how much water is in the pot, more water less time. Pay attention in case of electric stoves thar remain hot worl long tone after switch off. To gain your expertise, test the pasta time by time and decide yourself when it is al dente as you like. Then proceed with your 80 % way.
This waybof cooking save energy and less starch and other substances are lost in the water.

I love "eat the frog." I set goals every week, and every Sunday I try to at least begin the toughest or least palatable goal.
