I;m afraid I can't agree with your cooking method.
Pasta should be cooked in boiling water, not steeped, and don't use the 1 gallon per pound instructions. Too much water. Best if you save your pasta water and reuse to make sure the starch remains with the pasta. DO NOT EVER rinse pasta, and do NOT drain. Remove the pasta directly into the sauce and let it finish cooking in the sauce, adding a bit of the pasta water if necessary. The starch in the pasta assure the sauce and pasta marry well together.

I've also heard you can attempt to cut through the noodle with a spoon/fork and if it cuts easily, they are done. Much cleaner than flinging the noodle against your fridge.

0) Salt the water! It should taste as salty as the ocean.
And don't throw the pasta against the fridge for goodness sake! Why not try taking a piece out and, I dunno, actually tasting it?
