My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
1kg to 10l
Do you have a bathtub in your stove?
As others have already said, that is a lot of pasta. If you regularly cook volumes like that, it would really make sense to invest in a large pot as well. A cheap 10l pot will do just fine for boiling pasta, and it sounds like you would get plenty of use out of it.
This is making me chuckle, because I just did this last night for a dinner party. It was a hell of a lot of pasta for 7. I kept it moving, even in my big stock pot. Only a few strands stuck to the bottom. We have leftovers.
I usually cook a quarter of that for the two of us, sometimes half if I want to eat for a couple of days.

No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?
I usually make food for a few days
Then investing in a large pot would make sense.
I have one though
Matter of definition really
Definition of what?

1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)
Not in my experience, I usually count 200g per person
That’d be two people, five meals each so a few days. That’s how I usually do it

2lbs/1 kg is a lot.
I do have a 10 L pot, I use it for making stock and beer
