Never tried that, but it's worth a go at home to see if it works. You'd have to make a hole in the bag first and prop it up in the pan, or you might end up wearing the pasta!

Always edited for sloppy typing - when I spot it!

I don't know about pasta but microwave rice can be cooked in a frying pan, i have often done this when camping.

Yeah I did that in a trial run, but it din't heat the pasta up too well...end up having to microwave it lol. Back to the drawing board :-)
If the pasta is not in a sauce then it will have trouble heating through.

If you mean the stuff in a sauce you can cook it by emptying the contents of the pouch into a wide based pan with about 2 tbsp of boiling water, covering and boiling for about 3 mins, stirring occasionally.
It helps if you squeeze the pouch before opening to separate the pasta.
You'll still have to wash the pan though!

Empty the pouch and reheat in some sauce - as others have said with the cooked rice sachets. Or, you could do this: works for rice and pasta. Particularly useful if you only have one burner.
Pasta: put your required amount of pasta in a bowl or sauncepan, and pour over boiled water so it's all covered. PUt on tje lid, wrap with a tea towel or something that will insulate, and leave for 10-15 minutes. Your pasta should be cooked (check as it's easy for it to go to mush). Meanwhile, make your sauce. Then add the drained pasta reheat a bit, and voila. Or drain the saucepan if used, add a ready made sauce, and reheat on the stove.
Rice: a similar process but you use the stove initially. Put in the required amount of rice in a saucepan and pour over cold water to about 1/2 inch above the rice (N.B. helps to wash it first) and a little salt. Put on the lid and place on stove. Bring to the boil for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat, wrap the pan in a towel/oven cloth, and leave for about 15-20 mins.N.B. also put another teatowel beneath the lid to absorb steam. Check on the rice as it waits and maybe make some holes with the end of a spoon to encourage the release of steam. When ready to serve, fluff it with a fork. Meanwhile, make your sauce or whatever you plan to eat with the rice.
I do this at home and the rice is more successful than just boiling in a pan. I think I've made it sound fussier than it is to do, but, it's more sustainable than using cooked/pre-packaged products and doesn't take that long to do.
