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)

Salt bumps up the boiling temp of your water, and it also keeps the flavor of your noodles from leeching out. It's very important

Yeah, I've read those theories, I've also seen people say it does nothing. I've forgotten and it's made no difference. But I still do it. It's worth noting you have to add a lot of salt to meaningfully change the boiling temperature.

I usually do a 50/50 mix measured by mass.
