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).
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
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).
