why does water boil over?

Why is it that if I leave temp high, water alone boils without spilling out of the pot, but if I add something to it (like pasta, chai mix, etc) and leave it on high, it eventually boils over and spills everywhere?

so when water is boiling it’s like a dance party in the pot. when you add stuff like pasta it’s like inviting too many people. they push each other around and make bubbles that overflow the pot. so it gets wild and messy. if you keep it on high you gotta watch it or it’ll be a party spill all over your stove.
