I would 100% eat this, no problem.
With that said I dont at all fault the wife for not eating it while pregnant. Zero reason to take any extra risk while there is a bun in the oven.
With that said I would never think of serving this to anyone in a professional setting. Thats 100% in the trash, not even family meal.

Man you could not stop me from eating that but honestly OP is pregnant so it’s better safe than sorry on her end.

Im korean we leave soup out on the stove for days 😂

Ive done worst with pizza, but you’re pregnant so def be on the safe side instead
KazanTheMan
It’s probably safe, but personally having had full on food poisoning before, that’s a hard pass for me. I never want to experience that again.

I’ve accidentally left lasagna out overnight a lot of times. Yet to wake up dead

It’d be fine for most people, but I don’t blame the OP for not eating it while pregnant. If you’re not even supposed to eat medium steaks or seafood while pregnant, overnight ziti is probably out too right?
Cooper_Sharpy
What? No fuckin ziti now?!?

2 hours to make baked ziti thats insane.

Pregnant and/or immune compromised folks need to be cautious, but the rest of us can call chef Mike.

I left a homemade fish pie out overnight recently.
Was a bit worried eating it after reheating the next day, but I was fine!

So not only did he leave it out over night, but now he is going to eat all of it while she can’t have any. Evil and dumb lol
zazasfoot
Ok. Who amongst us hasn’t smashed a pizza thats been left on the counter? How is this any different?
BotGirlFall
Would absolutely feed it to myself, would never feed it to another person. I especially wouldn’t want a pregnant person to eat it. I have the least regard for my own well being though so Im heating it up and crushing it

I’m surprised by all of the comments saying they’d still eat it. Would gross me out too much to even want to take the chance. But also referring to the original post, you don’t need to cool it down to put it in the fridge.
PapaSloth77
0% chance I’d serve it, 100% chance I’d consume it.

I love the irony of not putting in the fridge while still warm for food safety purposes, and then throwing food safety guidelines out of the window completely when you realize you forgot to put it in the fridge.
I do this at least once a week.

Damn, y’all are wild. I’ve absolutely eaten some sketchy unrefrigerated food, but never “left in my car for four days during summer” levels of sketchy like some of you fuckers.
TheOneWhoCheeses
Growing up my mom had no problem leaving things out overnight.
Soups? Just boil again when you need it
Raw chicken? Meh, leave it out for 16hours to defrost
Rice? It won’t go bad
It’s a relatively common thing in Asian (and surrounding area) households

so what, no fuckin ziti now?

I’d eat it. Wouldn’t serve it.

This thread is a great reminder to never eat other people’s food.

I’ve eaten far worse for sure. Like many comments have said, I wouldn’t ever serve that. Probably not even to my wife. But if I give myself the shits, who cares 🤷♂️
Kencon2009
Ah I was on this post originally. I’d still eat it. Long as it wasn’t slimy or have meat. Pasta sauce and cheese and I’m in

i think a lot of people in this thread are missing the point. Yes, the ziti is probably fine to eat and we’d all house it happily, but OOP is 1) pregnant, so being extra cautious with food safety, 2) MADE THE ZITI HERSELF and was looking forward to enjoying it, probably with the extra intensity people look forward to their favorite foods with while pregnant, 3) TRUSTED her husband to take care of just the very last and easiest step of this large and time-consuming project: putting a casserole dish in the fridge.
The right thing for him to do now, imo, regardless of whether he’s still going to eat the old one, is to make a new one of these casseroles from scratch for her, or go get the ingredients for a new one and offer to be her sous in the kitchen, if she is the better cook and wants to remake it herself. If I accidentally forgot to put away a big delicious casserole my pregnant spouse (or anyone, spouse or not, pregnant or not) had made, so that she then felt unsafe eating any of it, I would be mortified. I’d want to make it up to them. The phrasing of OOP makes it sound like the husband was just, “oops! Shrug emoji! Haha well I’LL still eat it!” and if that was his attitude, that’s infuriating, and i’m not even the pregnant spouse. Honestly, for all the stereotypes about pregnancy hormones making you emotionally unstable, this woman sounds way more calm than i would have been if i were her.

I got really banged up one night when it was “my Friday.” I woke up the next morning with an awful hangover. I looked in the fridge for my leftover pizza, but it wasn’t there. Two days later, I discovered the entire pizza in my car. No wonder I had a hangover! Well, I looked long and hard at that pizza. It still looked perfect. The cheese still looked freshly melted and everything. I really, really wanted to try it, and since I live in Las Vegas, I figured that the poor pizza probably hadn’t gotten under 125° in those two days.
But I threw it in the dumpster, because I might be stupid, but I’m not THAT stupid.
Churtlenater
Oh I would definitely still be eating this.
Would I offer some to a friend or family member? Absolutely not.

I’ve never gotten the shits from eating pizza or ziti left out overnight. I HAVE gotten the shits from Denny’s chili though….NEVER GET DENNYS CHILI.

circular_file
I mean, raise your hand if you’ve inhaled the two slices of sausage, pepperoni, and olive pizza in a savage attempt at distracting yourself from the nightmare hangover of 10 shots of Jager and Goldschlager backed with kamakazis and two packs of smokes? A ziti left out over night does not even rank.

I once ate a weinerschnitzel chili cheese dog that was sitting on the oven for about 4 days. Still alive to tell the tale.
Her husband is clearly Bobby Baccalieri. Can’t let Karen’s last ziti go to waste.
Ever eaten a pizza that’s been sitting out for 5-8 hours? Me too.
Doubt this would be much different.
Food safety standards are for the vulnerable. Any healthy adult can handle much worse than day old ziti.
It’d be absolutely fine.
