It will dry out though, unless you have oil or mayo through it

tuscany9, as advised by rainrain1, yes you could however if you haven't already done so, I suggest that you toss the pasta with some oil (depending on the quantity, you'll only need about 1 tbsp oil, maximum), then unless you're sure that you have a fairly immediate use for the pasta, put it in the freezer.:-))
