Do you like spaghetti better freshly cooked, or left over for a few days?

How do you like you spaghetti?

Exactly this, when I used to eat meat leaving the sauce with the meat in the fridge for a few days or so and then heating it and putting over NEW noodles or rice or something was so good, especially when the tomato sauce would break the meat down further and it would just be soooo yummy and flavorful. I have not in my lifetime found a good way to reheat noodles without them becoming terrible in every way.

when i HAVE used leftover pasta, i never reheat it, i alwasy just reheat the sauce and pour that over the cold noodles (or maybe let noodles thaw a bit first, but still not reheated).

freshly cooked. but leftover spaghetti fried in a pan with some oil till it gets crispy is pretty good too.

It gets really congealed and the noodles get either rubbery or soggy if left too long, neither of which is appetizing in any manner, so I mean fresh made spaghetti is the kind I wont forgetti.

to prevent this you have to put with a little sauce mixed in or a ton of salt
 
pasta is only good al dente, so reheating it isn't good. it becomes mushy, but I think some people might like that. if you mean just the sauce, then the sauce is definitely better after sitting for a day or two, especially bolognese.
 
I eat left over food like no tomorrow just because I like my food to be cold or a little warm( excluding something like rice I leave that **** in the microwave for 5 mintues with water)
but left over pasta is always the worse, ugh I dislike it. Pasta does not taste good leftover, it gets soggy most of the time ;_;
 
Fresh. I heated up some leftover carbonara a couple days ago and it wasn't nearly as good as it had been the night before.

Although I will cook pasta and leave it to go cold on purpose before adding a dressing to it. But that gets served cold; not reheated.
 
Fresh is obviously better, but spaghetti sucks regardless.

How dare you! :o

I eat so much of it haha. Two of my favourite dishes are spaghetti bolognese and carbonara, and I often eat it just with an Arrabbiata sauce as a quick and cheap meal when I'm feeling too lazy to cook or we've run out of breakfast/lunch-type foods.
 
Fresh.. it can be good the day after if you kept it well but yeah I prefer to just make new in that case.

I'm just not a fan of tomato based anything. I love Fettuccine Alfredo though.
 
I like it freshly cooked better than leftover spaghetti. When it's fresh, it's a lot better, and when it's leftover, it's usually too al dente to like it as much.

I like it freshly cooked. I won't eat it even if it has been out for a few hours. Once it shrivels up I'm just like nope its dry now i cant eat it. I can't imagine eating it after days.
