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.
