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
Americans and oil. Name a more iconic duo.
Ooh ooh! Pasta and sauce!
Italians and pasta!
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).
