I have never stirred pasta before, and never had it stick even once. Are you sure you're waiting for the water to reach a full boil to add the pasta? At that point that air bubbles should be knocking it around enough that you don't have to bother.
Did you ever make spaghetti? When you put a bunch of them in the pot, one end of the bunch still sticks out and the bunch just stands there, so no amount of bubbles is going to "knock them around".
All you gotta do is push the ends that're stocking out under once it's soft enough. No stirring necessary. I suppose you can if that's easier for you, but I don't bother.
Editing in real quick though, I've never cooked high end pasta, so maybe that's different. I'm broke, so it's always the cheap stuff for me
If you´re using anything than your bare hands for that, I´m pretty sure that counts as a half stir at least! /s
