Trying to buy myself a sauce pan to be able to cook 6oz of pasta at a time. How big of a pot should I buy and where can I get a decent quality one for basic cooking. Also only want non-stick.
Pasta is best cooked in a very large amount of water so don't go nuts trying to find a small pan. For boiling pasta, larger is better.
Nonstick is also totally irrelevant for boiling pasta.
Actually, the pan you posted is very good value for money. Brand is Update International, just google that.

ok but how big should I get? 2 quarts?

I'd get a larger one. 4 or 6. 2qt saucepan is pretty damn small. You can always fill a larger pot partway if you need to cook just a little.

I have zero experience with that brand but it looks alright to me.
3 qt is still a little small IMHO.....

go to a warehouse that sells to restaurants
it's worth it to spend a little more and buy USA made stainless pots and bowls because they will last a lifetime.
