I make this pasta dish and the sauce has a tiny bit of alcohol in it.

Would it be okay to give to my 15 month old??

When cooking, the actual alcohol is cooked out. Its perfectly safe. As long as you aren't using very much of it in the recipe, you cook it at a high temp and you let it simmer, there will be very little to no alcohol left in it.

If you really are anxious about it, just give him some without the sauce or make him something else all together.

Yes the alcohol should have been cooked out of it before it's served.

Probably totally safe given the small amount (per ratio) the the other items in the dish. I would think that most of it steams off in the cooking process...

Best of luck!

the ACTUAL ALCHOL CONTENT DIMINISHES AFTER COOKING, AND YOU JUST LEFT WITH FLAVOUR. SO IT SHOULD BE FINE. but IF NOT SURE. MAKE SOME SEPARATELY WITHOUT THE ALCOHOL. enjoy MEAL

What's the recipe? I'm trying to imagine the sauce - I agree that the alcohol content will be cooked away, but if it's rich and creamy it might not be suitable for a baby anyway.

yes, when you cook with alcohol, the alcohol gets cooked out and you basically cook with alcohol so the food gets the flavor--no worries, enjoy

you guys don't know what is the difference between getting drunk and cooking!I feel sorry for you!stop worrying about a drop of alcohol in your kid's pasta,you should also stop to finish off the bottle of wine on your own while your kid is having an healthy meal for once!

Sure if the sauce is heated the alcohol is cooked away.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
If this sauce is cooked then the alcohol will evaporate and the sauce will be perfectly safe to eat. But if this sauce is not cooked then I would advise that you don't give the baby the meal, just to be on the safe side!

if you've cooked the dish after the alcohol is added, the alcohol will have boiled out of the sauce.  if it's uncooked, it's not only not ok, but illegal!

having said that, adult pasta sauces tend not to be suitable for young children anyway as they are usually quite high in salt.  if you have added salt in the cooking, you should not feed it to your child.

a bit will be ok, plus when you cook with alcohol, the alcohol burns off with the cooking and just leaves the taste thats all.
