When I boil pasta and store it overnight in the refrigerator, it sticks to itself. Is there a way I can avoid this stickiness?

As soon as it's cooked, rinse it with plenty of cold water, tossing it around so it's not stuck together. Then shake off as much water as you can and put it in a closed container in the fridge.
Some people like to put a little oil in their pasta-cooking water, claiming it makes the pasta stick together less. That's worth a try as well.
