The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃 (lemmings.world)

And of course as long as your cooking pot is large enough and you are actually being present, then there shouldn't be any risk of it boiling over and thus no need for any oil.

I think your comment is the source of a lot of people's problems with sticking pasta. If there pots aren't big enough and stove not powerful enough, a large amount of pasta can cool the water enough to stop the boiling and the pasta will stick if not stirred.
