You can use the pasta water to make a hell of a tasty alfredo sauce (or use to thicken up most Italian sauces really). That's the only use I've found for it so far.

Pasta water can be used similarly to garbanzo bean water as a substitute for eggs in certain cases.

For instance, you can use pasta water, garbanzo bean water, or lentil water as a substitute for eggs in a "egg wash" to bind a "breading" so that one can fry or bake food and have it breaded.
