Someone actually told me about this quite seriously. You would end up
with re-hydrated spaghetti, not cooked spaghetti. I have no idea if
re-hydrated wheat can be digested or not. I don't want to know, really,
because I can assure you that even if it re-hydrates spaghetti, it won't
do it for all the other shapes of pasta one uses.
