You must stir the pasta right after it goes into the boiling water to keep it from sticking together. That's really important, as well as having enough water in a large enough pot.
I taste the pasta when I think it might be done. I like it to be just tender, but still firm. Look at the directions on the package for the suggested cooking time, and start checking your pasta a minute or two before that time is up.
