Well I don't because I don't like pasta. But when I drain the hot water from potatoes I run cold water and slowly pour the hot water out so it mixes in the sink first. You could also use a spaghetti fork to scoop it out of the pot and into a bowl. Or buy a pasta cooker (pot with a built in colander): http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Pasta-Cooker-Stock-Strainer/dp/B0067NMEXU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1374538047&sr=8-4&keywords=colander+pot
Go another level up and get a Pasta Pot.
Yup!
I steam my eggs this way. I use a pasta strainer pot as a steamer basket kind of thing, and with a dozen eggs from the fridge it takes about 11.5 minutes to get them steamed just right. You'll have to test it with your setup and the size of eggs you can get and all that, but once you nail it down it's really reliable. Then if you're doing a bunch, you can peel batch 1 while batch 2 is steaming.
Just don't be me and let all the water boil off. That was dumb. Then I panicked and set the pot on a pot holder because my other front burner was occupied, and melted my pot holder. I didn't even know you could do that, but apparently you can. I had to peel the pot holder off a bit at a time. RIP in pieces.
