What method of heat transfer was the pasta being cooked?

Please provide more context! I need to know what kind of pasta cooking scenario you're referring to.

For example:

* Are you talking about pasta being cooked on a stovetop? If so, the primary method of heat transfer is conduction. The heat from the stovetop burner transfers to the pot, then to the water, and finally to the pasta.

* Are you talking about pasta being cooked in an oven? If so, the primary method of heat transfer is convection. The hot air in the oven circulates around the pasta, transferring heat.

Let me know the details of your pasta cooking situation, and I can tell you the specific method of heat transfer!
