Goofy Question: Storing Leftovers...

[out.of.habit]

Again with the learning-to-fend-for-myself questions:

I just made some pasta and sauce, and I was unsure whether it needed to cool before I put it in tupperware and put it in the fridge. I probably read something somewhere to that effect, but now I am wondering if it matters.

Suggestions? (Am I just being weird, now?)
