We once did a spaghetti fundraiser at church. The noodles were pre-cooked al dente (or a little less) and then a small amount of olive oil was added so the noodles didn't stick together. The portions were then put into ziplock bags until needed. I'm pretty sure we then dumped the bag contents into a colander that could be lowered into boiling water for a minute or two. The noodles drained when the colander was lifted. Darcy's suggestion of pouring water from a kettle would also work.

At the same time you are cooking your noodles you can also cook other things like quinoa and boiled eggs...or whatever else would help you with other meals you have planned.
