But the salt absorbing into the pasta will be a bit different than being part of the sauce. If it's a common issue that people you're cooking for want less salt, fine I guess. If not, salt the water when you cook pasta.

Yes, pasta is one exception, I always cook it with more salt and no one has complained. I'm usually the one who wants less salty meals.

Yup. Having a little too much salt on your pasta won't matter, you can always taste the pasta and adjust the sauce accordingly. I tend to undersalt the sauce, because we add quite a bit of salt w/ grated cheese or something, so I don't want someone's preference for extra cheese to ruin the meal.
