Your quick tip to stop pasta sticking

Your quick tips to stop pasta sticking

Don't add oil to pasta when cooking to stop it sticking. Stir it when you first put it in the water and leave in a little water when draining, if you don't serve it straight away. Works a treat – and cuts calories, too!

It depends entirely on the type of pasta. I don't find it necessary to add oil when boiling pasta shells, tagliatelle or maccaroni for instance, but I find adding olive oil hugely beneficial with spaghetti.
