I usually don't but tried adding a pinch of salt this time just because. This was pre made ravioli btw. Other than tasting a bit more of the pasta and it being a bit dryer than if I didn't I didn't really see much of a difference. I did it before the water boiled btw.
What are your thoughts on adding salt to pasta water?

I add salt so it boils faster and olive oil so it doesn't stick together

Hm, never actually added olive oil. And salt doesn't make it boil that much faster imo.
