Your pasta stick because of starch. Luckily, they release the large majority of their starch in the first minute of cooking, so stir well during the first minute and make sure there’s enough water in your pot.

Stir well once. I never need to interact more than 4 times / 20 seconds with the pot:

Put water into

Put pasta in bolling water together with salt

Wait 30 seconds, then stir for a few seconds

Take pot off and pour out

In addition to that, if you don’t have a feeling for how long the pasta needs to boil / how done pasta looks, you need to sample a noodle now and again.
