It is! If you want to get real fancy get pasta that’s bronze cut, it’ll usually have it on the box somewhere up top as a selling point. It makes the pasta edges slightly rougher and makes sauce cling to it more. I forget if Aldi has any like that, but you can usually find it for maybe 50 cents to a dollar more (USD) in other stores. Very low cost, high reward.
I use cheap pasta, never stir and it almost never sticks. I’d hazard a guess that people who are having this happen are not using salt, and probably not using enough water or a big enough pot.
Use a decent quality pasta, stir once. No oil needed.
TIL the cheapest pasta in Aldi is decent quality.
Never tried it

UK Aldi, not sure I have ever seen bronze cut used as a selling point on pasta, probably out of my price range.
Aldi regularly wins product comparisons: best OJ, best olive oil, best bike helmet, …

Yeah, big pot and salt are mandatory.
