I really feel like eating spaghetti for dinner tonight, and I just don't feel like running out to the grocery store to get some right now.
Was just wondering...thanks for the answers, peeps!

You will be just fine. Where do these people think dried pasta comes from? They don't just make it and immediately send it to a store. Duh. 2 years is nothing. Check for weevils. Dust'em out ... you'll be fine!

Dried pasta will keep forever if you keep it dry. Scrape your fingernail gently down the side. If the spaghetti has soaked up too much humidity, you will get a wad of starch under your nail. If its clean, go ahead and cook it up.
Also, if it looks powdery, toss it. Moldy.

No, The Box Probably Has Little Tiny Bugs In It, And It Could Make You Sick

Why even risk it? I mean, a box of spaghetti noodles is like, what - 50 cents or something? Yikes!

It would probably be ok if the box wasn't opened. Spring for $.33 and get a new one.

No way....heave that box!! Pasta that is opened tends to get little bugs in it..these bugs are drawn to flour products. They grow into little moths. THROW IT OUT!

It'll be fine. If it didn't get wet and mold, and didn't get pantry moths or be nibbled on by mice, eat in peace! (Even pantry moths are fine if there aren't too many.)

sure, put some three year old sauce on it and you'll never taste the difference

Spaghetti is cheap... why kill someone over a couple bucks?
