Can dry pasta be stored in refrigerator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no reason to store dried pasta in the refrigerator. Dried pasta can be kept for about two years if it's stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. However, pasta much older than that may still be quite edible, especially if it's been properly cared for.

While refrigerators are both dark and cool, they are not an exactly energy-efficient location to store a product that is very shelf-stable outside of refrigeration.

What temperature water do you use to remove spaghetti stains?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. Scrape off an much of the spaghetti as you can.
  2. Pretreat the stain and rinse it with hot water.
  3. Rub the stain with laundry detergent and wash in the washing machine with hot water.

I do my best to replace clothing with stains, but if I cannot, I read the labels for each type of material or cloth is different. Hot water usually sets stains.I would soak this in cool water and use Woolite.

User Avatar

It depends on the size and type of pasta. Orzo and angel hair need about 6 minutes or a little more. Thicker pastas need 10 - 12 minutes, or longer. Take out a piece to taste it and test the doneness.

Is Alfredo sauce or spaghetti sauce healthier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alfredo sauce is typically not a healthful choice. It is generally made from white flour, butter, and cream: high fat, high saturated fat, high calories, high on the glycemic index. Chicken is typically a healthful choice, but much depends on the method of preparation. Grilling, steaming, stir-drying, braising, baking, boiling, and microwaving are examples of healthful preparations. Deep-frying is an example of a less healthful cooking method. White meat contains less fat than dark meat. Not eating the chicken skin, which contains high fat and high saturated fat, is a healthful choice. Cooking chicken with the skin on is typically recommended for improved flavour; however, the skin can always be removed before serving.

How do you get burnt spaghetti off a pan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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 keep spaghetti hot without sauce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I suppose you could just put the meatballs on top of the spaghetti, and then douse it in mozzarella cheese. That simple

Lots of possibilities!

After you cook the pasta:

  • Drizzle with olive oil and garlic for a simple toss.
  • Make pesto by whizzing up basil garlic and olive oil, then dress the pasta.
  • Keep it hot in the pan after draining and mix with a beaten egg and bits of ham or bacon and cheese to make spaghetti ala Carbonara.
  • In a pan with a little olive oil, add a little oregano, pepper, salt, garlic, cream (or milk, you just have to simmer the milk before you use it, taking out some of the water), and simmer for 15 minutes. Add your pasta and some Parmesan cheese (or whatever cheese you have), simmer about five more minutes and serve hot.
  • Mix with a package of frozen vegetables and Italian dressing for a cold salad
  • Mix pasta and a couple of eggs, season with salt and pepper, put it in a frying pan and cook it into a pasta omelet. You can add whatever sounds good, from salsa to crumbled bacon, season however inspires you!

How much spaghetti for 20 people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A serving size of spaghetti is considered to be 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Since you can not measure spaghetti in a measuring cup let's switch to ounces. 1/4 of a cup of dry spaghetti is 2 ounces, once cooked it measures about 4.5 ounces. So to get enough cooked spaghetti for 1 serving per person, for 20 people you need 20 about 20 ounces of dry spaghetti, or 1.25 lbs. 1.25 lbs of dry spaghetti will cook into approximately 2.8 lbs of cooked spaghetti, which is 45 ounces. 45 ounces which is roughly 5.6 cups, and 5.6 cups divided into 1/4th cup servings of cooked spaghetti gives you about 22 servings. If you feel people are going to want more than 1 serving then cook up another half pound of spaghetti to be safe.
