First of all, there's so little alcohol to begin with (1/4 cup divided over probably at least 6 servings?) that it shouldn't cause any problem. Secondly, you boil the alcohol. Ethanol has a much lower boiling point that water (Unnecessary Chemistry Teacher sidebar: due to weaker intermolecular forces) so once you've boiled the sauce for 2 minutes most (although admittedly not *all*) of that alcohol is gone. I've fed a slightly different version of this sauce (started with frying pancetta - yum!) to my kids from the time they could eat solids. As far as buying it, yeah, I'd probably send in the man. Although here we've got drive-thru liquor stores so it wouldn't be a problem... Laura K, don’t know if you’re still checking back, but cooking with alcohol should be just fine.

I'm 29 weeks preggo and I've never cooked with alcohol before. This won't affect the princess currently sucking the life out of me from the inside will it? And how would you approach purchasing said vodka in this condition? I should send the man right? I don't want to be dragged to jail or something for trying to give my baby FAS.... potentially stupid question so I apologize in advance..

I thought it was really good but needed a little salt. Somehow I missed that you said "salt and pepper to taste." My only other problem was that I have a husband that doesn't believe in "pasta" spaghetti yes but pasta ......not so much. He just doesn't get it. ( He is an old f**t) What they say about old dogs and new tricks is true. I made it this evening. I thought it was really good but needed a little salt.

I love using natural ingredients and we avoid processed food, so it's been so nice to have a resouce for quick, family-friendly meals that fit in with the way we eat. You got me to drag out my crockpot for the first time since our wedding- I've been so discouraged by crockpot recipes that call for cans of soup and other pre-made yuckies. Please, keep it up!

Looks yummy!! Will have to get some vodka that is not flavored first though. I am thinking vanilla, cherry or strawberry vodka would not work. Haha. Thanks for the recipe! Can’t wait to try this.
