According to Giuliano Hazan, best-selling Italian cookbook author and cooking instructor, says to follow these steps to keep your pasta from sticking to itself:

  1. Use a large pot and add a good amount of water so the pasta has plenty of space to move, which helps it cook evenly. Use at least six quarts of water for each pound of pasta.

  2. Keep the water at a rolling boil, and cover the pot after putting the pasta in to bring the water back to a boil more quickly. Once the water is boiling again, remove the lid to prevent the water from boiling over. A rapid boil will keep the pasta moving.

  3. Periodically stir the pasta while it’s cooking, especially in the first two to three minutes, because that’s when it’s at its stickiest.
