Add butter to pasta after boiling. Wtf?
Yeah, that's a thing. It keeps the pasta from sticking together
Don't do that. It keeps the sauce from sticking to the pasta. Instead, mix the pasta with the sauce immediately after cooking.
For extra fun preheat the plates with the water from the pasta. Additionally the pasta water can be added to most sauces to make them more thick.
It also keeps the pasta from sticking to the sauce, which is usually the opposite of what I want.
That's when you put butter in the sauce to stick to the butter on the pasta.
Big brain move right here
Emulsions are weird.

And it actually does keep them seperated! Unlike that myth that haves people keep wasting perfectly good olive oil to boiling water. 🙄
Just don’t.
