The Guardian's food experts advise that pasta sticking together can be prevented by stirring immediately after adding it to fast-boiling salted water, stirring every minute while cooking, and scooping out pasta with a spider or sieve in batches rather than dumping it into a colander. Adding oil to water is unnecessary, and hollow shapes like orecchiette are particularly prone to clumping and require extra attention and movement during cooking.
