Well, it obviously wouldn’t boil, but if you left it in water long enough, it will rehydrate. I’m not certain that we actually do anything by “cooking” spaghetti other than rehydrating it.

Noodles are composed mostly of starches and heat causes gelatinization, which gives noodles their texture and holds them together. Without heat water just causes them to break back down into wet flour.
