No, please don't stir for gods sake. Don't add oils or anything either. What you need is just a big enough pot with water and salt, add the pasta when it's boiling and get it out once it's done. Simple as that.
Pro tip: let it just a little bit undercooked and finish it in a pan with the sauce on it.
I'm not even italian.
Does pasta stick together when you don't add salt? I've never stirred a pasta pot in my entire life
You add salt for the flavour. Oil does prevent pasta from sticking together, but it's not necessary.
Oil also makes a coating that prevents sauce to integrate into pasta. Also makes boiling water smell bad. Really, just get a big pot and let water boil hard.
