Answers:
"Hot foods should be refrigerated as soon as possible after cooking (within two hours)!. Don't keep food if it's been standing out for more than two hours!. Don't taste-test it, either!. Even a small amount of contaminated food can cause illness!.

Date leftovers so they can be used within a safe time!. Generally, they remain safe when refrigerated for three to five days!. If in doubt, throw it out, "It's not worth a food-borne illness for the small amount of food usually involved!."

lol!. i was just browsing questions and without even thinking about it found myself completely in the same situation! (i wasn't even remotely concerned over the fact i intended to have it for dinner until i read this question) however, despite everyone's warnings!.!. i'm thinking i'm still going to have it but only because i'm really big on not wasting food - the left over was intended for my sister and now i'm just bugging cos she hasn't had it and i'm offended!. screw it, that spaghetti is mine (quick fix before i go out to eat properly) that and we have a really powerful fridge that somehow and miraculously manages to freeze our cucumbers =/Www@FoodAQ@Com

4 days is too long for sure!.!.!.!.Personally, I won't eat leftovers older than 24 hours!.!.!.!.!.Yes, putting it in the freezer would have been ideal!.!.!.then it is good for one reheat!.!.!.!.!.On the inside of your freezer, have a look for a sticker with general guides on freeze lengths for different foods!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
