Too much sugar in spaghetti sauce?

A little ketchup will balance it out. Its best to add all ingredients a little at a time.

Learn not to put sugar in spaghetti sauce, tomatoes are naturally sweet. We eat too much sugar in this country, anyway. Peel a large potato and stick in whole. The potato will soak up the sugar (same as putting in too much salt.) Leave in for 15 - 20 minutes and remove potato. If the sauce is on the thick side you can use a little water to thin it down. The above poster is right, you don't need sugar! Get a good recipe for spaghetti sauce with some fresh herbs added instead.

Is eating raw spaghetti due to a nutrition disorder?

Raw flour and pasta contain large quantities of lectins and phytates, generally known together as anti-nutrients. Different lectins have different effects: some damage your intestinal lining, some disrupt enzymatic pathways, some cause systemic inflammation, etc. Phytates bind with minerals such as calcium and iron to make them bio-unavailable for absorption. Because of this, if you routinely eat raw flour or raw pasta you can rapidly become mineral deficient and sick.

Can you store homemade spaghetti sauce in a stainless steel pot overnight in the refrigerator?

Bacteria starts to multiply in food after a couple of hours in the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone is the temperature at which bacteria multiply rapidly. The temperature is from 40 degree Fahrenheit to 140 degree Fahrenheit. Foods should not be allowed to stay in this temperature zone for more than 2 hours (1 hour on a very hot day).

So you could eat it and possibly not have any ill effects after it sat out over night (how many of us have had that pizza that was left out more than two hours?). But it is a big risk to consume any food after it has been in the danger zone (prime bacterial growth zone) for two or more hours.

You might get a real bad tummy ache for a day or two and I personally wouldn't chance it unless I had no other life sustaining options for a meal.

How is spaghetti made?

Spaghetti and other pasta styles are simple to make by hand: you just make a dough, roll it out (either with a rolling pin or pasta roller) and cut it to shape (using either a sharp knife, roller - pizza-style - cutter, or pasta cutter attached to pasta roller machine) and then cook for a minute or so in boiling, salted water.

Once you've made it a few times, you'll be able to practically do it in your sleep. It's that quick and easy, and the difference from store-bought pasta is remarkable.

Pasta is traditionally made by mixing flour (I use durum wheat flour - semolina), with eggs (at room temperature) and a little oil.

The proportion of eggs to flour is at least five and up to ten eggs per kilo.

Flavorings such as puréed spinach, tomato, and so on, can be added at the proportion of around one-half eggshell per 200g flour. The flavoring must not be too wet. The dough should never be sticky, and salt is never used with a pasta machine.

Various other flavorings can be used, but I think it's best to keep the pasta plain and dress it up with a good sauce. A freshly-made sauce using onion, garlic, olive oil and canned Italian tomatoes is perfect!

Once cut, the pasta is dropped into rapidly-boiling salted water for only a few minutes - much quicker than ready-bought pasta. The pasta is usually cooked when it rises to the surface.

I use a Marcato Atlas pasta machine; see links below for recipes. Pasta machines have attachments for cutting different types of pasta. Marcato also makes a ravioli-maker which is fun and easy to use.

A charming and attractive variation is to roll the pasta thinly and then cover half of the pasta sheet with washed and well-dried flat Italian parsley leaves. Fold over the other half of the dough and pass it through the rollers again. Use a plain or fluted cutting wheel to cut into squares, around 2 to 3 cm. Put without too much overlapping in a flat soup plate and pour in very hot clear broth (consommé). The heat of the soup will cook the pasta, and the result is decorative and appetising. No side dishes are needed with this.

To cook ready-made spaghetti, you simply boil the noodles in the broth or water for about four or five minutes, or according to packet instructions.

How long before spaghetti sauce goes bad?

== An opened jar of sauce will keep in the refrigerator for about 4 to 5 days.

A bad smell or evidence of mold will tell you that it has gone bad. But if it looks and smells okay, it is probably good. Just be sure to bring it back to a boil for about ten minutes to make sure any potential bacteria are killed.
