Addendum for spaghetti: It generally won't fit in the pot raw,

I just break the strands into two before dropping them into the pot. I assumes there must be some reason not to do this because I don't know anyone else who does this, but I honestly can't tell the difference when I eat it.

I think the only reason not to do this is that it's "bad form", i.e. I don't think there is any actual downside. (I have stopped doing it because people make fun of it, but I don't think there's any actual reason not to do it.)
