You can also use a pot cosy. These were (re)invented by an African woman whose name escapes me. It’s basically a fabric donut or bucket, packed with insulation (wool felt, sometimes polyester). They heat the pot of food to a boil, then take it off the heat and stick it in the pot cosy. It stays hot for 4 times longer than a naked pot, saves a ton of energy, or in the case of the inventor, a shit load of fuel. Historically, villagers would stick the pot in a pile of hay or wool to get the same insulating effect.

That’s pretty cool. Your pot should be sufficiently able to retain heat for pasta, but for something that needs long term heat, this would work.
