Skip the Olive Oil When Cooking Pasta

When boiling pasta, adding olive oil to the water is often thought to prevent noodles from sticking. However, experts say it's unnecessary since oil doesn't mix with water, floating on top instead. Stirring the pasta in the first minute is more effective in preventing it from sticking. Besides, oil can coat the pasta, making it difficult for sauces to adhere. With extra virgin olive oil prices rising, it's best to drizzle it on finished pasta rather than boiling. Proper stirring, water amount, and timing are key to delicious pasta.
