Lots of water does help. However, note that the Pasta Pot (or any method of cooking without draining) isn't really ideal for spaghetti and other long thin pasta, but works better with shorter shapes.</p> Bob: In my experience, stirring spaghetti just once a few seconds after adding it to the water generally prevents sticking.
