OK, well, I ate a serving. Almost 12 hours later, I’m feeling fine. However, the sauce tasted a little sharper, spice-wise, than I thought it should (among other things that may or may not be my imagination, or perhaps due to the simmering and not adding enough water), so I may not eat the rest of the sauce for quality reasons.
But there’s still the plain pasta. That has to be pretty safe, right?
Reminds me of my days testing nutritional supplements, including cranberry capsules. Cranberry, for those who don’t know, is so acidic that it’s a fairly effective antimicrobial. My boss got bored one time and spiked a cranberry solution with tons of E. coli, and still couldn’t get anything to grow.
