After boiling pasta and setting the water in which the pasta was boiled aside I noticed that after the water cooled it thickened. It sort of has the consistency of gravy. Would I be able to make gravy with this instead of using starch?

No you would not. If you are cooking pasta properly, you need to use a lot of salt, rendering any gravy made with this water far too salty.
In addition, gravy is properly made with stock; made with water it will have no flavour.
