Oil that floats to the top of the water? Don't see that helping much
All the oil is doing is helping the pan not boil over while on a high heat as it makes the formation of bubbles at the surface more difficult. So… it kind of helps because you can cook more easily at a high heat but yeah it does nothing for the pasta.
It eventually gets absorbed by the pasta and makes it creamier. Unless you have too much water.
