Normally we all boil pasta , drain it and then add the sauces into it …
But has anyone tried adding a little water to the sauce and then boiling pasta in it? Just like how we do the Pulao

Or half boil pasta in khula paani , then add it in the sauce and let it cook fully in the sauce?

Re: Pasta Question ...
I've seen no-boil lasagne noodles, so they can just be put in with the sauce. There may be others like that.

Thanks so much lusi and the rest of you for sharing your thoughts …
What is the best way in your opinion, or tips , to get the pasta to absorb the true spicy flavour of the sauce? coz i can always feel that pasta being bland .. while the sauce is just about on the outside , its essence doesnt get absorbed very well into the pasta .. know what i mean? 
Re: Pasta Question ...
i do so. i just half cook the pasta and then, i mix it with the sauce. and then "restcook" both together... so jo pasta hai, wo sauce ko kaafi jazab kar leti hai aur pasta ka maza zeada achha ho jata hai!
