Why on earth would you want to do that! I love spaghetti just cooked - not the soft worms that come out of a can.
It takes you about 15 minutes to whip up a fresh sauce and boil the spaghetti while you do that - why would you go to hours of work to "bottle them" and risk botulism in due course too!

Goodness, my grandmother used to do this. It was a real treat to have it when we were kids with freshly picked tomatoes from her garden. :)

Not me im afraid, not when tinned spagetti is 89c a tin. Ive never tasted home made spagetti, is it just like cooked spagetti then bottled?

I have my mum's recipe for Spaghetti. 12lbs Tomatoes, 2lbs Onions, 4oz butter, 2 dsp common salt, 1tsp pepper, 1cup Sugar & 1lb Spaghetti. Homemade Spaghetti is beautiful and when you make your own you will never buy the tinned stuff again. Enjoy pickles :-)

I have a freezer I am emptying, and wanting to use up the tomatoes. I could bottle enough baked beans and spaghetti for two years, with them. I used frozen tomatoes to the equivalent of two cans in the baked bean, recipe.

thank you....purplepassdee....Yes, as I remember my kids loved the home made spaghetti. With the way things are going, families are going to have to get back to more meatless meals.

I only make and bottle the tomato mix and then I can serve it with fesh made pasta or storebought spaghetti or spirals. I freeze the tomatoes and make it in the winter when I have more time.Recipe- 3 Kg tomatoes; 2 med onions; 125g grated cheese; 125g chopped bacon; 50g butter; 75g sugar; 1 Tb salt; pepper. Chop tomatoes and onions and bring to boil, add rest ingreds and simmer 30 mins. Pour into jars and seal. May need to thicken a little with cornflour if tomatoes too watery. Can add crushed garlic or chilli if liked.

Thank you for your recipe. I bottle pasta sauces....stu...they are handy even to throw in a stir fry..I want to have ready to serve jars now. The Christchurch dilemma, has made me rethink, on frozen foods.

ahhh this brings back lots of memories ..mostly good ones but I also remember one year when good spahetti turned bad for Mum.
The lids all lifted as the spaghetti went bad and fermented ..it was like it had a life of its own..oozing everywhere..lol

You should not have sneaked the lids open and stuck ya fingers in....grannypam.... I found a jar of peaches with the lid sitting on top. thank goodness it did not ferment. It must have just happened as we moved. The worms, got a sugar rush. lol.

There have always been issues around the safety of bottled spaghetti when the pasta is included.I think nowadays, it's probably better to bottle the sauce by itself.
There's no real time-saving or flavour advantage in including the pasta and my memory of eating Grandma's bottled spaghetti is that the pasta tended to be flabby and not 'al dente'.

Maybe I should look into citric acid, I think 1/2 tsp to each 1/2 liter. That will sort out the baked beans as well. Tomatoes need an acid, to be added.

Thanks for your recipe.You're so right about it being better than the tinned stuff.
My mum used to make this in huge Agee jars.She counted the jars full on the shelf, in case one of us sneaked a jar.How do you cook the pasta, half done & stuffed first into the jars topped up w/ your sauce?
