The main idea is to not waste much time at all with boiling water on the hob. You should use the kettle (as mentioned with a pop up info) to boil the water, then put the pasta in. This way you don't waste loads of time waiting for the water to reach boiling point which is needed to cook. If you use cold water in the pot, try to boil it with the kettle first, you'll see it's not the same thing. You take way too long to cook your pasta if you use cold water in the pot.

Adding oil to the water can help prevent the bubble over of starchy water that can occur. My favorite modern pasta trick is that it is possible to hydrate the pasta completely separately from cooking it. One simply puts the pasta in water (or flavorful liquid) before you start prepping the sauce and it will slowly suck it up (like with rice noodles. It then only takes a minute or two in a small sauce pan of hot water to cook through to a perfect al dente.

Adding oil to the water will help it from boiling over. it decreases the surface tension and doesn't allow the bubbles to build up. Oh and you don't need to start with boiling water. start with cold water (just enough to cover the pasta. The dry pasta needs to absorb the water regardless if it's boiling or not, so no need to waste time waiting for your pot to boil. After the cold water and pasta is in, then turn on the burner to heat it through.

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I've never used oil to prevent pasta from sticking. I always use a bit of butter instead let it melt with the pasta, right after you have drained it. Gorgeously good and more often that not, more healthy (depending what kind of butter you take!

What do you think about adding the oil already to the water? This is the only difference in my way of preparing Pasta - I put the oil in the water not directly on the pasta - maybe only a dribble when it is already with the sauce on the plates.

Most packaged pasta is the same length. She used the diameter of what she was holding to gauge how much she was making. If you make a circle with your index finger and thumb, whatever will fit inside that is about one serving, if you have small hands.

And you have to trust a real Nonna; ) Thank you for the response and yes I already ruined Pasta when I wanted to cook a huge amount of Pasta in a large, but still not large enough pot, because I had to feed about 20 hungry kids.

It's true that oil won't mix. However it will make a thin oily layer on top of the water. When pulling the pasta out, some of the oil may or may not stick to the pasta. So it can actually make it less sticky.
