Why does uncooked pasta keep longer than cooked pasta?
Life needs water. Due to this simple fact, any kind of wet climate will naturally attract mold, because mold is a living "thing". When you cook pasta, you boil it in water, right? Well, during this process, the pasta absorbs the water and retains it. As time progresses, mold will begin to settle in your cooked pasta, because like all living things, we need water and will go to desperate measures to get it if we have to. Putting it in the fridge will slow down the process, but will not eliminate it. Sticking in the freezer, on the other hand, is much more beneficial, considering that not many things (including mold) will survive in such a climate. Dry pasta, as you may now understand, contains no water or any nutrients that would attract mold. This is why anything damp or wet will attract mold quickly (especially at room temperature), where as dry foods will vary (depending on the ingredients and how it was cooked) and rarely attract mold.
