Just use pasta/rice water to water your plants. They will enjoy the extra nutrients.

Edit: maybe not, I'm not a scientist.

I was wondering about this because that seems like a good idea upfront, but apparently:

The extra minerals and stuff is a very minor benefit for plants and will not substitute for fertilizer.
If you put salt or seasoning in the boiling water, don't use it for plants.
The starch might also promote mold / bacteria growth.
