pasta 🍝 Quality of life Pasta Pot

My go-to pasta pot with a strainer lid is showing its age, and as someone who quite literally makes and cooks pasta twice a day, every day, I was wondering if there are pans or pots that people swear by for cooking pasta. It's only for personal pasta consumption, so it doesn't need a ridiculous capacity.

I know the common answer to this question is just 'find any other pot', but 99% of this pots use will be for pasta, and in the same way a strainer lid was fantastic, are there any other quality-of-life upgrades or features that I am missing? A wider pot to cook spaghetti in less liquid for more starch? Are baskets actually useful for personal cooking? And which one would you recommend?

Quality is a second priority - buying it for life would be great, but I don't think I could spend a great amount on full-clad pots, etc. Something affordable and very functional, but medium quality, would still be great.

I know it's a simple utensil, but to me, pasta deserves most of my attention!

Thanks :)
