Plain cooked pasta should be treated as any other potentially hazardous food. It should be refrigerated within 2 hours or within 1 hours if the ambient temperature is around 90°F. Less time is better.

To elaborate on the answer above, because cooked pasta is a moist food, it must be treated as a potentially hazardous food, meaning an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. The number of bacteria doubles every hour when food is kept between 41-140. One should not only count on reheating and the immune system to destroy these bacteria especially considering that bacteria leave behind toxins which cannot be destroyed by heat and it is the toxins in several kinds of foodborne illness that cause the problem. Never leave potentially hazardous foods out at room temperature for longer than two hours total.

Since the pasta has been hydrated, it has now become a potentially hazardous food that could support the growth of pathogenic microorganisms if any are present and the food is left in the temperature danger zone too long. Indeed, refrigerate it - but use it within a few days.

No i don't agree with that first answer at all. I say Less than ONE DAY.
with out anything on it the pasta will stick together. It will get chewy pretty fast. Personally i would not eat it at all stored without sauce on it . Stored with sauce I would eat it only the next day no later.

∙ 14y agoNo. Cooked pasta would have a water activity that would make it a potentially hazardous food.
