Is Alfredo sauce or spaghetti sauce healthier?

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?

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 much spaghetti for 20 people?

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.

How long can spaghetti sauce without meat sit out at room temperature?

Yes, but not for very long if you are planning on eating it later. Put your pasta sauce in a metal container right after dinner and "force cool" it in the sink by surrounding the pan with cold water. This will sink a lot of the heat out so you don't "heat load" your fridge by placing hot food in it. Then transfer the cooler food into an appropriate container and get it in the fridge. You can leave the pan in the sink in water to cool the sauce for an hour or so without any risk. Just stir it once in a while, and perhaps change the water once. Get it cooled down to "room temperature" or so, then move it to the chiller. You'll use your best judgment about "water waste" and "energy waste" when doing the cooling.

Bon appétit.
