Ok, this is a total 1st Tri question, but...

I'm totally craving pasta with vodka sauce.

I know that I should know better by now (especially since this is my 2nd pregnancy) but the little bit of vodka actually cooks out of the sauce and is therefore safe to eat, right?

Humor me, I'm being neurotic. Thanks :)

    Yeah, its safe.  Once you cook alcohol the alcohol part evaporates.

    you will be safe, it's not like you will be drinking a half bottle of vodka.

    I think it needs to be cooked off for 5 minutes, but pretty much everything gets cooked for more than 5 minutes :)

    Yep, it should evaporate.

    Now keep in mind I'm using the Food Network as my reference, but the alcohol does not burn off when you cook it.  According to the show I watched, the food retains a significant amount of the alcohol used in preparing it.  However, I would imagine the portion you would be eating would be completely safe.  I'm sure it would take a lot of vodka sauce to do any damage.
