How can I keep my pasta from sticking together during cooking?
Pasta gets sticky when cooked too long and can sometimes stick together. To prevent this, you might try a little olive oil in the water when it comes to a boil. Also, if there is too much pasta for the amount of water in the pot, it may stick.
