I wonder wtf you guys do to your pasta, it’s like the easiest thing to cook… Boil water, add salt, wait for the time written on the box (or just look at it, you’ll see when it’s done).
Your stir at the beginning to ensure that each piece of pasta is properly engulfed by water. But after that there really shouldn’t be much need of stirring, the pasta moves around in the water on its own.
Also, if the pan isn’t large enough the pasta will stick I think. I say I think because despite having cooked pasta hundreds of times I’ve never had this happen lol
After cooking the pasta just short of done, many toss them in the sauce pan and let them finish cooking in the sauce for a more even pasta-to-sauce-distribution. Saves you the hassle of portioning your sauce.
Half the time written on the box, believe me if you want a perfect “al dente”. Anyway the problem of everybody outside Italy is that they boil the water with the pasta in.

Some bad celebrity chef at some point told Americans that you have to put olive oil in the water to prevent sticking.
Like…no. Just stir it occasionally lol
Stir at the beginning for 45 seconds so that the pasta don’t stick then let the boiling water move the pasta and cook them. Simple.
Why? It doesn’t stick while its in the water either way (for me at least, maybe the starch content varies enough to change that around the world).

I don’t think they boil the water. Must be that. No other way I can think why it would stick.
If you don’t stir the pasta adequately after adding it to the pot that can make it stick together. Source: my husband does this all the freaking time.

Sometimes I just hold the pot handle and swish it around slightly. Never had a problem with sticking. It seems like an infomercial problem.
Yeah, he usually just dumps it in and walks away. 🥴
I usually just snap mine in half, and throw it in boiling water with a bit of salt. I haven’t stirred pasta in years.

Or not stir at least once I guess.

It’s a shitty pasta fault. Good pasta does not stick, simply boil water add salt put pasta in.
If you throw the pasta on the wall and it sticks, it’s done. If you don’t want to use the wall, use the inside of the microwave’s door.
Or put it in your mouth and taste like a normal person.
Please don’t throw your pasta.
