    You could also just let half of the noodle cook in the water a bit to get soft as you press the rest in and it’ll curve until its all submerged, then you can add your Vienna sausages and ketchup to finish it off

        The alternative you offered is a shitload more work. Someone willing to break their spaghetti in half to fit their pot is really fricken unlikely to decide that spending an hour making fresh pasta is a better option than just ending up with “uneven” pasta.

        In my experience, that takes at most 30 seconds until they’re all submerged. Are we talking about really tiny pots, very long spaghetti, or such a short cooking time that the difference is noticeable?

        To be fair, I personally like to let spaghetti boil a long time, but I’ve also never heard of anyone around me having problems with uneven cooking
