Her poop might be a little orange or pinkish from the tomato sauce.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but garlic and onion are well researched in DOGS and other mammals but in BIRDS so far the only toxicity has been for feeding A LOT of them. Even then, you'll find dog foods with garlic as small amounts are indeed beneficial. Raw onions are definitely something I would avoid, and even cooked onions would not be something I'd purposely feed, but a little bit of sauce she'll be fine :)

Yeah when I was making it yesterday I gave her the plain noodles when they were cooked before adding the other ingredients. :)

Thats what I was recently reading too. I feel better about it now but I was freaking out last night. But yeah I keep onions far away from her when preparing them. I never use fresh garlic either, just the powder so no chopping it around her. I know that onions and garlic gives many dogs a tummy ache. My dog Austin, had to go to the hospital when he was a puppy and I was just a child. He had gotten ahold of pizza when we left the house and nearly killed him.

Yep that is what I read too. However there is a reported case of a flock of waterfoul dying when they ate onion.

Yet cockatoos eat "onion weed" including the bulb. :eek: .----

Nerd grubbed on spaghetti every time we had it. I had no clue some of the ingredients might be bad for him and he never got sick or had any kind of reaction too it, he lived to be at least 31. It was all cooked so things aren't quite the same and like said most of those bad things take a LOT to cause a bad reaction. Dobby has eaten cooked and raw onions before and no issues as well and some of the supposedly bad things cause more of a stomach upset then a actual bad reaction too. Some things are known to be immediately bad if eaten, many are not as researched and may just cause a tummy ache so do some research about what is truly dangerous and what is bad in large quantities or just upsets their stomach.
