Smell it, eat it and if you don't get sick it's ok. No problem it should be ok.

Hey! I'm Italian so I always go by what my Nana says... 2-3 days for homemade sauce, and closer to 3 days if the jar stuff... Anymore than that and you can maybe get sick... I guess tomatoes can turn bad after just a little while. I've always gone by this and as far as I know no one has ever gotten sick in my family from sauce (an we eat a lot of it!)... hope it helps! Manga!

Spaghetti can be good for up to 3 or 4 days tops. If you have added a lot of veggies like mushrooms, green peppers, etc then 3 days tops. If it's just plain sauce and noodles then give it 4 days.

It's fine. After a week, it's pretty iffy, but only 2 days is nothing to worry about as long as you had it in the fridge the whole time.

After two days it is just fine, but I wouldn't eat it after that. There is more bacteria in the fridge than people think.
Just make sure you heat it to a boil and you will be just fine as long as you bring me some ;)

Two days in the fridge is fine. Four or five days might not be a great idea. Eat your lunch and don't worry about getting sick.

Warmed up spaghetti in my opinion tastes better than straight off the stove. It should be fine for at least a week in the fridge.

The sauce alone should be good for 5 or 6 days.

Yes it's still good because the cold area in the fridge slows the growth of bacteria.
Eat it and enjoy.

It's fine. I wouldn't go past four days. Heat up a frying pan with a little olive oil and dump the pasta in. My mom would reheat it for me this way and let the pasta get a little crispy. Leftover pasta is almost as good as leftover pizza.

You bet your powerful pasta jones, it's O.K. to eat. In fact, my Momma used to store the sauce for two days before serving it. Something about the flavoring spices maturing to make the sauce taste better.
