Well duh, of course this will workâoil is slippery, after all! But sorry, no. In realty, almost all the oil goes down the sink when you drain the pasta and the sewer beasties will enjoy your good olive oil.
So how can you reduce sticking? Tossing the pasta with a little oil just after draining works much better. Or do as the Italians do, which is to mix the pasta with the sauce right away after you drain it. This has the added advantage of letting the flavors meld.
Other ways to reduce sticking problems include buying high quality pasta (which sticks less than the cheap stuff), by not overcooking the pasta, and by making sure you are boiling it in enough water, and by salting the water. Also, stirring the pasta for 10-20 seconds right after adding it to the boiling water makes stickiness less of a problem.
If you are cooking the pasta for later use, or for use in a cold dish, try rinsing with cold water right after draining.
