Excessive thawing and freezing of any food can cause harmful bacteria to grow on it. Always thaw it well before you prepare a meal out of the frozen cooked pasta again. When in Doubt, Throw It! Good food is costly and you should never throw away food if you can help it.

Also, like pizza left out overnight, pasta isn’t bad to eat at room temperature, especially if it was left out because you were a bit too drunk to put it away properly the night before. It won’t cure a hangover, but it feels extremely satisfying in the moment.
Can you eat tomato sauce on a diet?
In my opinion, you just can’t beat a simple, fresh tomato sauce on pasta. It just sings with flavour. It’s also a low calorie sauce, which is great if you are on a diet. For those of you who don’t know, I’m following the 5:2 diet.
