If you don’t stir the pasta adequately after adding it to the pot that can make it stick together. Source: my husband does this all the freaking time.
Your stir at the beginning to ensure that each piece of pasta is properly engulfed by water. But after that there really shouldn't be much need of stirring, the pasta moves around in the water on its own.
Sometimes I just hold the pot handle and swish it around slightly. Never had a problem with sticking. It seems like an infomercial problem.
Yeah, he usually just dumps it in and walks away. 🥴
I usually just snap mine in half, and throw it in boiling water with a bit of salt. I haven't stirred pasta in years.
