Pasta craving during pregnancy

I have strong pasta cravings but I’m not sure if it’s safe to consume the sauces - cream, tomato, basil pesto sauce etc? Whenever I asked the restaurant if the pasta sauce is pasteurised, they will give me a puzzled look 😅

Pasteurization is when bacteria is killed by cooking at high temperatures - just >15seconds above 70 degrees C is sufficient for milk. Generally you should only be worried if you are eating uncooked soft cheese, raw salami, uncooked eggs etc.
