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.

Does mineral oil attract mold?

Most pertroleum based oils do not encourage mold or mildew when used in indoor settings. When this does occur it is often the result of contamination which is averted primarily by keeping surfaces clean via a light washing with a mild soap (that won't remove the oil) and a thorough drying. However the use of mineral oil for the preservation of tool handles is unknown with respect to endurance of non-growth matters. Linseed oil is often used for tool handles but commonly available types contain toxic by-products. True "boiled" linseed oil overcomes this effect but is not readily available.
