Possibly some B vitamins (particularly if it's whole-grain pasta), but it's mostly a source of carbohydrates.
carbohydrate
Pasta contains no vitamins. It is starch. This is not to eat very often, it makes you fat. It is better to mix pasta with vegetables, meat and nut to give it some nutrition value.
It does not make a difference if the pasta is cooked or not, as water will add no calories to it.

Nutrition is good
Nutrition is crucial for humans to survive.
It provides nutrition, the same way as "normal" pasta does. This nutrition's is slightly richer in minerals due to the content of fibers. Whole Grain pasta also provide some fibers that makes it digest a little bit slower. These fibers make the stomach "work harder" and this helps us so that we are less likely to develop a congested and stiff stomach. Main nutrient in normal pasta and whole grain pasta is Proteins and Starch
Fuel and nutrients.

I had a similar question asked to me by someone counting their calories. The problem was this: They had a 250g bag of pasta. The nutrition label gave 100grams of uncooked pasta (therefore, half a pack was 125grams). The label also gave the value for half a pack of cooked pasta which was 190 grams. The calories in 100gram uncooked was 172kcal, while half a pack of cooked jumped massively to 326kcal. Why? A quick mathematical look at this clearly showed that half a pack of uncooked pasta did not have the same amount of calories as the cooked pasta. So why is cooking pasta increasing calories, does water magically add water? A couple of weeks later, and luckily, we were eventually given information (that was at least believable) from a trainee medical student... They said that if you eat raw uncooked pasta, there is a lot of calories and nutrition that are not digestible by the human body. In other words, they go straight through your body. When you cook pasta and other carb-dense foods like rice and couscous, it alters the chemical makeup of the food (it kind of unlocks the remaining 'invisible' nutrition) and makes the previously undigestible nutrition available for the body to absorb. 'Hope that helps :)
Yes Couscous is pasta and pasta is fine for a treat.
Nooo. guinea pigs cant eat pasta only fruit and veges
