FUCK. i boiled the little saucepan dry with vestiges of pasta in the water. >.> now there are white and black bubbly patterns inside the bottom of it. uh, this can't be good.
Put a quarter inch or so of vinegar in the pan and heat it to boiling. Dump the vinegar out and (once the pan has cooled a little), the burnt stuff should come right off with a minimum of scrubbing! (I feel like Heloise!)
