What are you people doing to your pasta... I don't even know what universe it would do that. How would it do that? Is this some American thing where American pasta isn't made from wheat anymore but instead corn syrup?

Nah, they are probably letting it sit for 5 minutes after draining before they serve it.

If you don't take care, and don't stir, spaghetti might stick badly.

If you have enough water, hot enough, salt a bit, see to it that when you put the pasta in the water it's not in a big lump, then it's going to be okay.

I like to stir after a minute or three, but it's mostly to see everything is okay like water temp.

Beginners might chuck it in colderer water, not stir spaghetti or whatever. Been there done that ☺️

Good night!
