Best Answer

Because spaghetti is a very starchy food, it is easiest to get it off a pan (even after it has burned) by filling the pan with hot water and soaking it for several hours. The water will soften up most of the spaghetti. Once it has softened up, scrape out as much as possible with a metal scraper or spatula (or if it has a non-stick coating, a scraper rated to scrape without damaging the finish). After scraping you should probably soak it again and repeat the scraping at least once more. After the final scraping, you can use something like steel wool or a metal mesh to scrub it the rest of the way clean. If it is non-stick, use a plastic scrubber for this purpose. When you are done, just wash with detergent as you normally would.

Note that if you are working with an iron skillet out on a camping trip, you can substitute sand for the metal scrubber.

How do you fix burnt tomato sauce?

The unfortunate reality is that you can't fix it. There is no way to mask or remove that bitter, burnt taste, its always there, no matter what you do. You need to clean the pan very carefully, remove every bit of burnt carbon on the pan, and start over, I'm afraid.

How would you serve the spaghetti and sauce if not being served at on time?

You can precook the spaghetti and store it in coils in the refrigerator. Precook the sauce and store. When you want to serve take the spaghetti out and pour hot water over the precooked pasta. Heat the sauce in the microwave. You can also mix the two together, put it in a pan, sprinkle cheese on top and bake. Served as baked spaghetti. This is what I do with my leftover spaghetti and it is quite good.
