These fuckers dont salt their water. Thats literally it.

IT SHOULD BE SALTY AS THE SEA. YOUR PASTA WILL NOT STICK.

Salting the water doesn't help with that as far as I know. Salting pasta water helps with exactly one thing: it tastes better.

Its the only point you can season the pasta without influencing other ingredients directly, no?

I never salt my water and I find just one stir for 5 seconds after dumping it in the water is enough
