    I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They’ll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

      Same here, I’m a part time spaghetti vandal that breaks spaghetti at least once before throwing it in the pot.

      I also use both fork and knife to slice though the spaghetti mountain on the plate!

      But I draw the line at overcooking spaghetti, not fond of spaghetti soup.

        Don’t get me wrong, the spaghetti in OP’s picture definitely look soaked and not very appetizing. But the weird benefits I mentioned can be achieved otherwise.
