    Do you cook your pasta in a large pot, with plenty of boiling water, and a good amount of salt? Usually I just stir once just after putting the pasta in, and I never have noodles sticking together.

      It depends on the pasta (form, freshness, self-made… etc). Some has to be steered 3-4 times others just once, in my experience.

      My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
      1kg to 10l
      Do you have a bathtub in your stove?

        As others have already said, that is a lot of pasta. If you regularly cook volumes like that, it would really make sense to invest in a large pot as well. A cheap 10l pot will do just fine for boiling pasta, and it sounds like you would get plenty of use out of it.

        Only the best musicians blame their pot.

        No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?

        1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)
