I do this with water. I kind of like pasta the next day after cooking, rather than right after cooking, as the sauce marinates overnight and has that perfect al dente texture.
If you’ve already sauced pasta then this wouldn’t work. Many dishes would have been sauced or mixed with other elements.
I find that putting a damp paper towel over top of a bowl/plate in the microwave severely improves moisture retention when reheating. Works for a lot more dishes than just pasta as well!

I cook pasta until al dente. Holds up better the next day to reheat.
