However, very often after this method of cooking, a dense mass of macaroni appears on the plate, which can only be separated with the help of a knife.

To taste a truly delicious side dish, in which each macaroni is easily separated from the next, you should use one small trick.

After you drain the pasta in a colander to drain, add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Toss the spaghetti right in the colander so that the fat coats each piece. Such pasta will not stick together even after cooling.

If you run out of vegetable oil, you can replace it with a creamy analogue. At the same time, transfer the drained pasta back to the pan, add a piece of oil and, turning on a small fire, stir them until the oil dissolves.

After that, turn off the stove and leave the pasta for 5-6 minutes under the closed lid, and then mix well again.
