Cooked pasta should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. If the ambient temperature is very warm, make that 1 hour. Less time is better. At that point, the pasta should be refrigerated or re-heated. Since cooked pasta has been hydrated, it is considered potentially hazardous and could grow pathogenic bacteria if such bacteria are present and the food is held in the temperature danger zone (135°F - 40°F) too long.

∙ 15y agoFood left out of the refrigerator is okay to eat for about 2 hours. If the temperature is under 80 degrees. The longer a food stays in the danger zone the more risk you take eating that food. Foods should either be kept hot or kept cold before eating to be really safe.
