Okay, so I was just wondering how long you can keep cooked plain pasta in the fridge. When does it become dangerous (or gross) to eat? LOL

Cooked pasta will most certainly go bad. In general, the guideline for prepared foods (depending on your governing health department) is 72 hours and gone. Cooked pasta, if tossed with oil to prevent 'clinging' will turn rancid in a few days. If dressed, like in a pasta salad, it will preserve for 3 or 4 days.

Although the Nose knows...food born pathigens are oderless and colorless and can infect your food before the stench of "bad food" occurs, so sometimes it's best to use a time frame as Jim mentianed

While I might not fully disagree with this statement, on a personal level, from a professional standpoint one should never gamble on the health of ones customers, from both an ethical standpoint as well as a monetary standpoint.
