It has to cool down or the whole fridge will get warm. Supposedly, modern refrigerators can handle hot food without a negative impact on other food in the fridge. Personally, I would let the food cool so that it is no longer steaming before placing it in the fridge.

The food should be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then chilled down to 40°F within another 4 hours. Either quick chill the food with an ice bath or separate it into smaller containers to facilitate faster cooling.

What is the difference between spaghetti sauce and enchilada sauce?

The basic ingredients are the same. In fact, any tomato sauce recipe can be used as a spaghetti or pasta sauce or as a pizza sauce. However, pizza sauce should have a thicker consistency than most spaghetti sauces. Watery sauces will soak the crust and leave you with a soggy pizza. If leftover or store bought spaghetti sauce is going to be used on pizza, as is with no 'doctoring', reduce the sauce by simmering in a sauce pan until it has the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
