Can you cook pasta without heat?

You can eat raw pasta. Without heat, the pasta will have an uncooked taste, probably a lot different from what youre imagining. Heat (i.e. boiling in water) softens dried pasta to allow it to 1) rehydrate and 2) cook. This process typically takes around 8-10 minutes, depending upon what type of pasta youre cooking.
