now that i realize the "al-dente" times on the back of pasta bags is generous by 2-3 min, i dont have to talk myself into cooking it now
the pasta continues to cook for the 2-3 min you drain it so if it says 8-11 min (usual default) you can cook it for just 5 and its perfect
assuming you have the pan piping hot on max and leave it there

Yeah the reason you rinse pasta after straining is to stop it from cooking.
