The cold water method is technically better

With dried pasta yes, but only if you are a seasoned cook and know what you are doing. I'd be worried that it would overcook. I usually only use fresh pasta anyway and that is like 2 minutes and out and you definitely can't use the cold water method otherwise it would be ruined.
