Reheating pasta sauce can be a nightmare, especially cream-based sauces. You’d think just throw in the microwave on the stove stir every once in a while and it’s good, but unfortunately sauces can burn to the pot and once burnt to the pot and stirred you can actually mix the burnt sauce throughout your entire sauce ruining the batch. So the question posed how is the best way to reheat pasta sauces? Spaghetti Works is here to help you out.
For the best quality of reheating a pasta sauce that is tomato-based (like our original, meat, chili, or spicy Italian sauces) is in a pot. This is one of the simpler ones to reheat since it’s less likely to burn than cream-based sauces. Simply follow these instructions and you’ll have fresh tomato-based sauce in no time.
Notes for reheating via stove-top.
For best quality when reheating any cream-based sauce, like our alfredo, pesto, or beer cheese, we found using a double boiler works great. You don’t need to buy some fancy double boiler off amazon to do it at home. All you need is a pot deep enough and wide enough to rest a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl on top of the pot.
