How do I keep boiled pasta from getting sticky overnight?

Question

When I boil pasta and store it overnight in the refrigerator, it sticks to itself. Is there a way I can avoid this stickiness?

Add I light amount of oil to the pasta 15 minutes after cooking. Mix well. You can also add in a very small amount of sauce after 15 minutes....than when ready complete it by adding the rest.

As soon as it's cooked, rinse it with plenty of cold water, tossing it around so it's not stuck together. Then shake off as much water as you can and put it in a closed container in the fridge.

Some people like to put a little oil in their pasta-cooking water, claiming it makes the pasta stick together less. That's worth a try as well.
