Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
No tomato paste on hand? Use an equal amount of thick tomato sauce reduced down to a paste-like consistency.
Storing it
Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until steaming hot.
Making it ahead
The meat sauce can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge; mix the spaghetti with the eggs and cheese just before assembling and baking.
