I think you mean "I like to eat my pasta out of a pasta bowl".

I certainly would not sit in a large pasta bowl while eating pasta, if
that's what you mean.

My nephew used to eat spaghetti in the bathroom, but that was in the bath.

No. I think what he does is take some hot cooked pasta, mix it with a
beaten egg and then press the mixture into a large, greased bowl. He then
lets it set for long enough that the mixture is cool and dry to the touch.
He can then cook more pasta...or perhaps cook extra and keep it warm in a
colander over a pot of hot water...or perhaps in some way reheat it and then
serve it in the bowl that is in fact made of pasta.

Well, I confess to like eating spaghetti out of a CorningWare pie
plate. It seems to corral it better than a plate; just a quirk of
mine.

I prepare the pasta sauce in a 6 qt pot, so sometimes when it's just
for me I dump the drained pasta in with the sauce, give it a stir and
very often instead of plating I eat my fill directly from the pot,
then put what's left in the fridge... saves having to wash a plate...
and I happen to like eating cold left over pasta from the pot... right
up there with eating cold left over pizza and especially my favorite,
cold/congealed left over Chinese from the carton. Okay folks, come
clean, who else eats LOs cold? And you can't say cold left over steak
(it's already taken), I'm right now indulging in a cold sliced London
broil on 'Talian bread w/Heinz red for brunch.

I ain't gonna gripe if you eat it right out of the pot. It's yours,
you cooked it, you live alone. Why dirty another dish just to eat it
out of a dish? But no, I don't like those other things you mentioned
cold.

Ah, those devilish prepositions.

What's wrong with a cold sliced steak sandwich, I see no difference
from a cold roast beef sandwich, and cold sliced beef goes great in a
salad. And cold pasta is wonderful, ain'tcha ever eaten pasta salad?
And I'm sure most everyone here occasionally eats cold pizza. And I've
found that many left over Chinese dishes are better cold than
reheated... cold lo mein is excellent... noodle dishes are always
better cold, reheating usually ruins most Chinese food. I typically
order several extra eggrolls because I like them better cold... can
always heat things up with lots of hot oriental mustard.

I also like cold, left-over pasta if it's good quality and prepared the
right way.

Sometimes I eat left-over rice cold. It's a guilty pleasure.

In Italy they'd probably mix the leftover pasta or rice with egg and bread
crumbs, shape it into cakes, bread it, and then fry it like risotto cakes.

There's also spaghetti pie. I've never had spaghetti pie.

Reheating several times might also increase the amount of bacteria.

Fried foods tend to have a long shelf life.
