Y’all need to salt your water.

It prevents nearly all the sticking and it makes pasta delicious

It’s not the salt that prevents the sticking. You use a larger pot with plenty of water. Still delicious though :P

Yea, and not cooking it for too long.

And while you’re at it, shell out the extra 50 cents or whatever for the bronze cut pasta. It has a much nicer texture and allegedly makes sauce adhere to the pasta more.

Bronze cut cavatappi is the superior macaroni.

Do you not put just a little oil to make them unstick with each other?

Nah that is another myth, it will just make it harder for your sauce to stick to your pasta. Add salt and it won’t stick together.

Oil is bad for sauces sticking to pasta though.

Stirring doesn’t matter. The rinse after really matters for it to not stick together. (I had displeasure of eating a portion from 15kg of pasta slab that had no chance of proper rinse, bottom was charred)

I’ve never rinsed my pasta and it never sticks together.

Are you putting it immiedietely in the sauce?

For me it sticks if I don’t rinse it and leave it alone for later.

Little olive oil in the water. Problem solved.
