right?! had the same issue until I figured out you HAVE to stir it a lot at the beginning. Also rinse it after you drain it if you’re not planning on adding it to sauce right away. And, idk, I started using a bigger pot, seems to help? GL!

hey! u might not be stirring enough or maybe your pot is too small? water gotta be rolling boil before u toss pasta in. stir stir stir! then after u drain it, don’t let it sit around, mix it up with ur sauce or a little oil or butter to keep it from becoming one big pasta blob

To achieve the perfect non-stick al dente pasta, consider these steps: First, use ample water - the pasta shouldn't be crowded. Second, the moment it comes to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt for flavor. Third, KEEP STIRRING, especially during the first two minutes—this is crucial since that's when pasta is most likely to stick. Finally, as soon as it's done (taste test don't rely on the packet) drain quickly and if you're not adding sauce directly, toss it with some olive oil or butter. Buona fortuna!

The key is to stir your pasta regularly while it’s boiling to keep it from clumping. Cook it in abundant, salted water—at least 1 gallon per pound of pasta. Adding oil to the water is a myth and a waste; it'll just sit on top of the water. Instead, reserve some pasta water, drain your pasta, then toss it with sauce immediately, using the reserved water to adjust the consistency as needed. That’ll keep the pasta from sticking without making it greasy.

not an expert, but my nonna swears by using a lot of water. like, way more than you’d think you need. the pasta needs room to dance, ya know? make sure u salt the water too, it should be salty like the sea. then right after u drain it, add a bit of olive oil and stir. works for me!
