You can thicken soups too, anything you'd use flour to thicken.

I don't thicken soups usually

You can also thicken stews and whatever Chicken Pot Pie is.

I'd have to save the pasta water then and that just makes no sense

I think its fine to leave the pot on the stove for 24 hours. After that, if it hasn't been boiled, I'd dump it.

Yeah I'd then have to specifically plan to make something to use the pasta water every time I make pasta. A bit of a hassle for no discernible gain.

Throwing away a couple liters of water is not an issue where I live luckily.
