Pasta that's cooked in oily water will become oily itself and, as a result, the sauce slides off, doesn't get absorbed, and you have flavorless pasta.

Can't say I agree with Richard... a teaspoon of oil isn't too much, and won't make your pasta oily. A little bit of oil will also make spaghetti much easier to serve, since it won't stick together after the water has been drained. A little bit of salt in the water also works well.

all you need to do is have a lot of water and stir the pasta a few times after it gets dumped into the boiling water-- to make sure it doesn't stick together.

Oil has no effect on "sticky" pasta.
Common sense will tell you, oil in the water will stay on top, will and can not cling to pasta to make it 'not' stick. Besides if it would stick, it would not do this very long as the boiling water will loosen it from the pasta to float toward the top. Lot's of water and rapid boiling with stirring often will do all.
Add oil after draining.

FYI, the oil in the water also helps prevents the foam on top from over-boiling and spilling from the pan.
