The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃
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.
Hmm I call the large "pans" that you boil water and make sauces in pans, but I assume you don't in your country- presumably the USA? I'm not even sure what you would call them instead tbh
What are you people doing to your pasta... I don't even know what universe it would do that. How would it do that? Is this some American thing where American pasta isn't made from wheat anymore but instead corn syrup?
If you don't take care, and don't stir, spaghetti might stick badly.
If you have enough water, hot enough, salt a bit, see to it that when you put the pasta in the water it's not in a big lump, then it's going to be okay.
I like to stir after a minute or three, but it's mostly to see everything is okay like water temp.
Beginners might chuck it in colderer water, not stir spaghetti or whatever. Been there done that ☺️
