"Not only do you need to tease the noodles to separate them, but the sauce needs some rehydrating as well. A splash of liquid is crucial to restoring the sauce to its original consistency. Peterson, however, opposes adding water to loosen things up. As he explains, "Water would dilute the flavor that the pasta originally had. Why not take the opportunity to make good leftovers great?""
"Instead of detracting from the savory richness of the tomato and meat in your spaghetti sauce, you can add to it with the help of beef broth. According to Peterson, "Adding beef broth would help loosen everything up and help make it the right consistency again. It would also add some umami and make the sauce a little richer." We've got a ranking of beef broth brands to help you choose the most flavorful liquid for your leftovers -"
Leftover spaghetti continues to absorb sauce in the refrigerator, producing a thick, sticky clump of noodles and concentrated sauce. Reheating requires teasing noodles apart and rehydrating the sauce with a splash of liquid to restore original consistency. Adding plain water is discouraged because it dilutes flavor; beef broth is recommended to loosen the sauce, restore consistency, and add umami and richness. If store-bought beef broth is unavailable, dissolve beef bouillon in water as an alternative. Mushroom broth offers an umami-rich vegan option that pairs well with marinara or meat-free mushroom bolognese. For cream-based leftovers, substitute cream instead of water.
