I usually use as little water as I can get away with, as the resulting pasta water is much more starchy and works better in sauces.
I want to echo this, it makes sauces so creamy and luxurious, makes your pasta genuinely have the mouth feel of like high quality restaurant pasta. Heard about doing this in a j Kenji lopez-alt video and I swear by it now. Also has the benefit of coming to temp faster (less water means you need less heat to boil it) so stuff tends to move faster in the kitchen
