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.
You should still be salting your water. It does nothing to prevent the pasta sticking, but it does make it taste better.
I thought it was a texture thing. Otherwise, you could just add some salt to your sauce.
It changes the way the pasta itself tastes, and is very different from adding it it the sauce.
