Why are you measuring the water? Fill the pot, pour the pasta, cook the pasta, drain the water. Pasta may expand a bit, but otherwise you just need enough water to cover it while it's cooking.

    limiting water is useful for keeping the time it's not yet boiling short, but also may then dip below boiling if you put in too much pasta and have too little water. as always balance is key and I'm a jenga tower.
