Is it ok to use bouillon while cooking potatoes or pasta - or is it a waste of bouillon?
I would say that using boullion for cooking pasta IS a waste since you're going to put sauce on the pasta anyway. However, using boullion for cooking potatoes (for mashing) makes sense. The boullion will flavor the potatoes while reducing the need for butter or margarine and possibly milk (you can use the boullion flavored water instead). Boullion is also useful in cooking rice. It gives the rice a nice flavor as opposed to water.

Why should cooking oil be added to cooking water when cooking pasta?
No, oil does not keep the pasta from sticking together. The oil has a much higher viscosity and will just float on top. However, the oil can serve a purpose in cooking pasta. If the pot of pasta is left on high heat, the oil will prevent the pasta from foaming and then eventually boiling over. When pastas are cooked, the starches are released into the water and begin to stick together. The oil allows the starchy particles to slide past each other instead of sticking together. An alternative is to periodically stir the pasta as it is cooking to keep it from clumping together.
