Mixing Ingredients from a Fleishig Pot and a Milchig Pot

I have vegetables that were cooked in a (clean) fleishig pot and spaghetti that was cooked in a (clean) dairy pot. May I now reheat the vegetables and the spaghetti, by cooking or frying them together?

Yes. Vegetables cooked in a (clean) fleishig pot may be recooked in a dairy pot even if both pots were used within 24 hours (Rama, Y.D. 95: 2). However, such vegetables may not be eaten with either meat or milk directly (see Badei Hashulchan, 29, and Biurim). Similarly, in this case, one may combine the vegetables cooked in the meat pot with the spaghetti cooked in the dairy pot, but one may not serve them together with actual milk or meat. (If any of the foods are sharp, such as onions or radishes, this leniency would not apply).
