WRONG ANSWER.
IT IS TO PREVENT THE PASTA FROM GETTING STICKY. COMPETENT CHEFS DON'T NEED IT.
Both wrong.
Oil in water does not change any physical properties of water so it boils the same, and unless you poured a gallon of it over the water it wouldn't prevent a boil-over (but then it'd make vapor bubbles form under the oil and explode, sending boiling oil all over, which is WORSE).
Oil in water does not make the pasta un-sticky. It does not even gets inside the pasta because pasta is polar in nature and repels oil. So it has no flavoring purpose and no un-stickifying purpose.
