I had spaghetti for dinner last night and it was alright but not great. Now, tonight i had leftover spaghetti from yesterday just heated in the microwave and it's so yummy. why's it so much better the second day? Every other food i eat is a little worse the second day so i don't get it I scoop out the fat with a spoon the next day for a delicious, less fatty sauce.

Does the refrigeration do anything to the sauce? Hi Craig, Refrigeration isn't the answer, per se, to this. It's rare for refrigeration to change flavors too often, as the refrigerator is more about slowing chemical reactions. But there's a psychological aspect too. Chef and food writer James Kenji López-Alt tried to perform scientific comparisons and found little difference when tasting fresh and day-old dishes side-by-side.
