    nope that's what I use. Another method would be great since rice flour spaghetti has no oomph/ I think the oil weighed it down.

    Rice flour has no elasticity. Rice bread is very heavy,

    Add it to the boiling water slowly, and stir it several times while cooking to keep it separated - and add the oil to the water too.

    Yes, don't overcook. I don't use oil in the water because then the sauce does not stick to the pasta.

    As someone who is allergic to most kinds of cooking oil, I do not use any, just stir the pasta in the water while it is cooking every minute or so, and then the pasta goes from the strainer directly into the sauce afterwards - so there's no chance for it to stick.

    If I were cooking the pasta for later use, so it needed to sit for a while once cooked, I'd toss it in a bit of butter to keep it from sticking together.

    Don't be like me-- I tend to choose too small a pot and cook the pasta in too little water. That results in goopy pasta for me.
