Is that the sauce or the sauce+pasta? Was there a lid on it? What is approximate ambient temperature of kitchen overnight? Likelihood of feline (or other) bandits? 'On the bench' could cover a multitude of scenarios.
Basically, if there was a lid on it, and the kitchen got chilly overnight you might be OK. No lid and warm overnight temps then a hard no. If cats/ants/cockroaches have dipped their paws in it - hard no.
Spag Bol sauce is not as fragile as a cream sauce like alfredo, but still .... Rule of Thumb is to put such stuff in fridge as soon as steam stops rising from it.
Yeah I was just too tired and fell asleep
Marginal. Boil it up real good as per Rusty Raven's advice and live dangerously.
Most of the time i cook, the pot is too hot to put in the fridge when i go to bed, so stuff gets left overnight and i put it in the fridge when i wake up. Not dead yet :P
I used to divide food out into single portion tubs so the food would cool faster then put lids on and freeze them. It made it easier to reheat as well
