Shallow Pot Pasta Boiling Benefits by Ruth Paget

You lift cooked pasta out with tongs and can easily transfer it to a skillet of sauce next to it on the stove. You can let hot water cook before emptying the pot.

The following blog also states that cooking pasta this way saves energy and money as well:
