It won't stick together like that if you actually wait for the water to come to a proper boil before you add the pasta
yes, this is the answer! patience! a proper boil that stays boiling until the pasta is done. no sticking ever. salt and oil are never needed in the cooking water.
For fresh pasta yes, dried you don't need as much salt
